Dubai: Indian's young batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi did it again. The 14-year-old came up with another blistering knock as he smashed 86 runs off just 31 deliveries to that included a record nine sixes and six boundaries to guide India four-wicket win over England U-19 in the third Youth ODI at Northampton on Wednesday.

The win meant India to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.

Kanishk Chouhan took three for 30 as India restricted England to 268/6 in 40 overs. India chased down the target with 33 balls to spare.

New record

Suryavanshi’s scored his 50 in just 20 balls, which is the second-fastest by an Indian after Rishabh Pant's 18-ball 52 against Nepal in February 2016.

His nine sixes surpassed the previous record of eight sixes held by Mandeep Singh.
