Vaibhav Suryavanshi's rampage goes on, youngster creates new record in U19 World Cup but misses century vs Bangladesh

Former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is in the third spot, after scoring more than 50 runs against West Indies in the 2010 edition of the tournament, aged 15 years and 92 days.

Speaking of Suryavanshi, the batter roared back into form after having a disappointing opening match of the U19 World Cup against the USA, where he scored just two runs, lasting four balls in the middle.

Suryavanshi was looking set for yet another century, but he was stopped in his tracks by Iqbal Hossain Emon on the second delivery of the 27th over. The youngster supported a dejected face after losing his wicket, but had to walk back to the pavilion.

Earlier, Suryavanshi had warmed up nicely for the tournament, scoring 96 runs against Scotland in the practice game.

The political and diplomatic tensions between the two countries have risen following the killings of multiple Hindus in Bangladesh. The recent developments also saw Kolkata Knight Riders releasing Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman from their squad.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) then wrote to the ICC, asking the apex body to shift its T20 World Cup matches from India to Sri Lanka.
