India's Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become a record-setter in the India-England under-19 test match, eclipsing a record that has stood for over 34 years. The Under-19 Indian batter not only scored a brilliant 162 in his team's first innings but also shared a vital 259-run partnership with Sarthak Golui (104) which led India U-19 to a imposing first-innings total of 450. With 17 fours and four sixes in his innings, Suryavanshi helped India U-19 to take a first-innings lead of 163 runs. However, England U-19 fought back in their second innings as Oliver Wilcock's 121 and Harry Hill's 105 helped them gain a crucial first-innings lead. Still, the game is now poised for an exciting finish with India U-19 needing 290 runs to win with four wickets in hand. Nevertheless, the momentum is clearly with India U-19, and they are expected to win.

The previous record for the highest aggregate in a Youth Test match was 1,430 runs, set in 1991 during a clash between Australia and England at Chelmsford. Suryavanshi and Golui's partnership has smashed this record, with the 259-run stand being the highest for the fourth wicket in the history of Under-19 Tests. With his 162, Suryavanshi became the third Indian batter to score a hundred in the match a feat that has never been achieved by any team in the history of Youth Test matches. If India U-19 manages to win, it will be a remarkable achievement for Suryavanshi and his team one that will forever be remembered in the record books.
