The future of world cricket, especially from the lens of Indian cricket, looks very bright given the fact that two of the three batters resposible for hitting the fastest youth hundreds happen to be from India. Youth cricketers almost always bring a lot of excitement, not only because of their obvious enthralling talent but also because a lot is attached to them particularly because them having a lot of time in comparison to the others where it comes to giving their nascent career a great shape.
This is something that can be held absolutely true for a couple of very bright Indian cricketers on whose shoulders rests the immense responsibility of breaking into the Indian team and carving a memorable journey. Having said that let us take into consideration, where it stands- cricketers with the fastest youth hundreds and pause for a second to admire their bedazzling talent and what they went on to achieve in such a young age.
Here's a list of three cricketers with fastest hundreds in Youth cricket
Vaibhav Suryavanshi – 52 balls
Vaibhav Suryavanshi sits on top of the table of cricketers with the fastest youth hundreds, scoring his valiant and timely ton not just against England Under-19 team, but in England in a Youth ODI. The blazing and fearless left hander who idolises Brian Lara, amongst the others, hit a memorable century against England in just 52 odd deliveries.
In that particular innings, he scored on the whole 143 runs off 78 deliveries and led India's attack with the bat by way of example.
Having already found an IPL residence in the form of Rajasthan Royals, Suryavanshi took the 2025 edition by a storm when he hit a gregarious century.
Moeen Ali – 56 balls
Not just one of the cricketers with the fastest youth hundreds, but the cricketer with the fastest youth hundred for a long time was Mooen Ali and his punishing blade back in the year 2005. The famous English cricketer, vastly respected for his all round talent, achieved the feat against the Sri Lankan team in an Under-19 Youth Test contest around two decades ago.
But truth be told, Moeen Ali's big hitting ways weren't just seen or widely felt on that particular occasion alone; against the West Indies, in the year 2017, he scored an impressive 102 that came off just 57 deliveries.
He will always be regarded for being not just an effective wicketing taking spinner, but an attacking batter who contested in the never-say-die mode.
Ayush Mhatre – 64 balls
Indian youth batter Ayush Mhatre entered the list of the cricketers with fastest youth hundred having scored a fantastic and fighting century off just 64 deliveries, that came against England Under-19 in a Youth Test being played in England.
As a matter of fact, Ayush happens to be the captain of the Indian Under-19 side and his glorious and dogged hundred came in a very quick span of time, which was held at Chelmsford. Interestingly, Vaibhav Suryavanshi was playing in that very contest, and in the innings where Mhatre scored a valiant hundred, he was out for a duck.
