Mumbai, July 6: Teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi said he was inspired to watch Shubman Gill carrying on nonchalantly after making a hundred, and wants to emulate the Indian Test skipper in future matches. Suryavanshi made a sparkling 143 off just 78 balls to become the fastest and youngest batter to make a hundred in Youth ODIs during India U-19's fourth match against England on Saturday at Worcester. Bihar Cricket Association President Rakesh Tiwari Says Vaibhav Suryavanshi Will Continue to Rewrite History of Cricket in Years to Come.
The 14-year-old was referring to Gill's twin centuries in the ongoing Birmingham Test where he made 269 and 161 to bury England in an avalanche of runs. The India U-19 squad was at Edgbaston, watching Gill's construction of an epic double hundred.

"I will try to make 200 in the next match. Next time, I will try to play full fifty overs. The more I make runs, the better it will be for my team. I will try to play the whole game in the next game. I will focus on that," Suryavanshi said.
Suryavanshi got out in the 28th over after milking 219 runs with fellow centurion Vihan Malhotra. The left-hander said he could have batted for more overs had he shown some more caution.
"I could have batted a bit longer because I had a lot of time. After that (his dismissal), there were 20 overs left. So, I could have made it longer. There was a shot (that he got out) that I couldn't give my 100%, that's why I couldn't do it," Suryavanshi said. 14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Becomes Fastest and Youngest Centurion in Youth ODIs; India Clinch Series Against England.
However, Suryavanshi said he was not aware of the records he created until he returned to the dressing room.
"I didn't know that I had created a record after making 100. Our team manager Ankit sir told me that I have created a record. Everyone congratulated me. I am happy that I have done something good for the team. I will talk to my family and friends," he said.
