Doha: Young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi struck the joint second fastest century by an Indian batter in T20 cricket, off 32 balls, for India A against United Arab Emirates in the Asia Cup Rising Stars competition here Friday.

The 14-year-old opening batter smashed 15 sixes and 11 fours to make 144 off 42 balls, equalling the mark of India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who had scored a 32-ball century for Delhi against Himachal Pradesh in 2018.

His blitz powered India A to a huge total of 297/4 in 20 overs, in which skipper Jitesh Sharma scored a 32-ball 83 (8x4s, 6x6s).
