India A Innings: 298/3
Powerplay: 92/1
Suryavanshi treated the very first ball from Junaid Siddique with contempt, sending it over long-on for six. The next three balls went for 4, 6 and 6, so India A were 25/0 after one over. Omid Rahman's first over cost 22, with three sixes and a four, all off Suryavanshi's bat. He reached fifty off 18 balls (six fours, five sixes).
Overs 7-10: 152/2
Ayersh Jain joined in with three consecutive sixes off Aayan Khan in the seventh over, and India A reached 152/2 at the halfway mark. Then came the moment that set social media alight. Suryavanshi took 14 off an over from Muhammad Jawadullah (6, 4, 4) to reach his hundred in 35 balls. The helmet came off, the bat went up and the India A dugout rose as one.

UAE Innings: 150 All Out in 18.4 Overs
Chasing 299, UAE needed a miracle. Aryansh Sharma gave them brief hope with 48 off 28 (six fours, two sixes) and added 62 with Rahul Chopra. Then Limbani, the Gujarat pacer, produced a superb spell.
Powerplay (68/2): Limbani struck with his second ball, castling Chopra with an inswinging yorker. Vaibhav Arora then removed Tanish Suri with extra bounce.
Overs 7-12 (110/6): Limbani returned to bowl Basil Hameed off an inside edge, clean up Ethan D'Souza and have Nilansh Keswani caught behind off a sharp lifter.

Why This Innings Matters
Beyond the numbers, this innings shows how fast Indian cricket's next generation is arriving. Suryavanshi did not just hit sixes. He rotated the bowling attacks, picked his targets and kept the scoreboard racing in every phase. That maturity is what selectors look for, and it makes a strong case for a bigger stage.
For India A, the performance also showed real balance. The batting set 298, but the bowlers did their job too, with Limbani's pace and Kothari's control finishing the game early. For UAE, the young side will take lessons from facing a genuine A team, even in defeat.
Post-Match Reactions
Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Player of the Match): "I just wanted to play my natural game. The ball was coming on nicely, and once I got my eye in, I didn't want to stop. I've watched Rohit bhaiya and Surya bhaiya a lot, and tried to play like them tonight."
Ayersh Jain (India A captain): "Vaibhav is special. We've seen him do this in nets for two years, but tonight the world saw it. 298 in 20 overs is unreal, but with him anything feels possible."
Aryansh Sharma (UAE captain): "We knew it would be tough, but 298 is a mountain. Vaibhav batted on a different planet. We'll learn from this."555
Conclusion

India A XI: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ayersh Jain (c), Kiran Chormale, Ansh Gosai, Prabdeep Singh, Sachin Dhas, Raj Limbani, Yash Kothari, Vaibhav Arora, Manav Suthar, Digvijay Patil (wk) UAE XI: Aryansh Sharma (c & wk), Rahul Chopra, Tanish Suri, Ethan D’Souza, Basil Hameed, Nilansh Keswani, Aayan Khan, Junaid Siddique, Muhammad Jawadullah, Omid Rahman, Dhruv Parashar
India A Innings: 298/3 – The Vaibhav Show That Broke Every Record
Powerplay (1-6 overs): 92/1 – Carnage from Ball One Vaibhav Suryavanshi walked out at 15 years and 248 days old — already the youngest Indian to play List A cricket earlier this year — and treated the very first ball from Junaid Siddique like a crime. Full on middle, dispatched over long-on for six. The next three balls disappeared for 4-6-6. By the end of the first over, India A were 25/0.
Omid Rahman’s opening over went for 22 — three sixes and a four — all from Vaibhav’s blade. The 15-year-old reached his fifty off just 18 balls (6x4, 5x6) — fastest by any Indian in T20 cricket, surpassing Rishabh Pant’s 22-ball record.
Overs 7-10: 152/2 – Triple-Digit Powerplay, Century in 35 Balls Ayersh Jain joined the party, lofting Aayan Khan for three consecutive sixes in the 7th over. At the halfway mark (10 overs), India A were 152/2 — the highest 10-over score in Asian T20 history.
Then came the moment that sent social media into meltdown. Vaibhav, on 97, took 14 runs off Jawadullah’s 11th over — 6, 4, 4 — to reach his hundred off just 35 balls, breaking the previous Indian record of 42 balls jointly held by Yusuf Pathan and Rohit Sharma. The helmet came off, the bat was raised, and the entire India A dugout stood as one.
Overs 11-15: 210/3 – Changing Gears into Overdrive Vaibhav wasn’t done. He smoked Nilansh Keswani for 28 in the 13th over (6, 6, 6, 4, 6) and then took 30 off Dhruv Parashar in the 15th — the most expensive over in the tournament’s short history (6, 6, 6, 6, 6). At 15 overs, India A were 210/3. Vaibhav: 140* off 39.
Death Overs (16-20): 298/3 – Mercy Denied UAE finally removed Ayersh Jain (67 off 31) in the 17th, but Prabdeep Singh walked in and smashed 41* off 18 (four sixes, three fours). Vaibhav finished with a gentle single off the last ball — 144* off 42 (11x4, 15x6, SR 342.85).

UAE Innings: Brave Start, Limbani’s Fire Ends Contest (150 all out in 18.4 overs)
Chasing 299, UAE needed nothing short of a miracle. Aryansh Sharma provided early hope, racing to 48 off 28 (6x4, 2x6) with some gorgeous drives. He added 62 in 5.3 overs with Rahul Chopra before Raj Limbani, the Gujarat pacer who took 4/13 in the U19 World Cup final last year, produced a sensational spell.
Powerplay: 68/2 — Decent start, but the required rate already 15+ Limbani struck with his second ball, castling Chopra with a 141 kph inswinging yorker. Next over, Vaibhav Arora removed Tanish Suri with extra bounce.
Overs 7-12: 110/6 — Collapse triggered Limbani returned and blew UAE away: Basil Hameed bowled off an inside edge, Ethan D’Souza cleaned up by a 144 kph thunderbolt, Nilansh Keswani caught behind off a sharp lifter. 4-2 in his spell, all bowled or caught behind.
Yash Kothari, the leg-spinning all-rounder from Rajasthan, chipped in with two wickets in the 13th over, and the innings folded meekly. Junaid Siddique swung lustily for 19* off 9, but the result was never in doubt.
