While Vaibhav Suryavanshi dominated the Youth ODI series, Ayush did wonders in the Youth Test. On the last day of the second Youth Test against England in Chelmsford, India tried to achieve the target of 355 but fell 65 runs short of victory, as rain came in the end and the match was drawn. However, Ayush’s smashing century on the last day was the topic of discussion and he has made a big record in his name.

On the fourth i.e. last day of the match, England declared their second innings at a score of 324/5 and India got a target of 355. Captain Ayush Mhatre had made up his mind to chase this big target and he expressed his intentions from the beginning of the innings. Mhatre completed his half-century in just 25 balls and continued to bat even after that.
He took the English bowlers to task and then made the record of the fastest century in Youth Test in 64 balls. Mhatre broke the record of England’s George Bell, who scored a century in 88 balls against Sri Lanka Under-19 in 2022.
This young player, who played for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025, faced 80 balls in his innings and scored 126 runs with the help of 13 fours and six sixes. However, despite Mhatre’s brilliant century, the Indian team did not get the win, as rain knocked in the end and Team India had to be satisfied with a draw. Earlier, the first youth test of the series was also a draw. In this way the two-match series ended at 0-0.
