Following an early blow in the form of last match’s centurion, Aaron George (9), a 142-run partnership off 90 balls between Sooryavanshi and skipper Ayush Mhatre (53) has set up India’s stage to put up a massive score on the board.

The 14-year-old has left the fans in awe with his sublime 175 in the high-pressure final. Sooryavanshi’s blistering innings was laced with a jaw-dropping 15 fours and sixes apiece, which came at a blazing strike rate of 218.75.

The mesmerising ton has also placed him at the top of the highest run-scorers’ list of the edition. With 439 runs in seven appearances, he went past Afghanistan’s Faisal Shinozada, who had also slammed a brilliant century against the Boys in Blue in the second semi-final.
