Suryavanshi has surpassed India's U19 World Cup-winning skipper Unmukt Chand in the tally with a total of 41 sixes. Chand previously held the record with 38 sixes in 21 innings at the U19 stage.

It took the 14-year-old just 10 innings to break the record, as he smashed six sixes in his 70-run against Australia in India's recent Youth ODIS. He has scored 540 runs in the Youth ODIs, and more than 25% of the runs have come from boundaries.

At just 14, Suryavanshi has broken several batting records. He became the youngest player ever to feature in the IPL and also smashed one of the fastest hundreds in the league against the Gujarat Titans. 

Hailing from the small town of Samastipur, the young boy already made history, making his Ranji Trophy debut at just 12 years of age against Mumbai, becoming the youngest player ever in the history of the tournament.
