Asia Cup Rising Stars: Vaibhav Suryavanshi's sensational 144 powers India A to 148-run win over UAE

The l4-year-old brought up his century with a nicely timed four off pacer Muhammad Arfan in the 10th over.

Suryvanshi had a silent partner in Naman Dhir (34), and the second wicket pair added 168 runs in a little over 10 overs as runs flowed in at 16 per over.

However, Suryavanshi could not overhaul compatriots Abhishek Sharma and Urvil Patel, the fastest Indian hundred-makers in T20s -- off 28 balls. Suryavanshi batted in a single gear throughout his innings, and the UAE left-arm spinner Harshit Kaushik was at the receiving end of the Indian's aggression.

Kaushik, who came to bowl in the 11th over, was punished for four sixes and a four as a total 30 runs cascaded.

Suryavanshi was cruising at a strike rate of 348 at that time and eventually he fell to off-spinner Mohammed Farazuddin, skying a catch to Ahmed Tariq in the deep.

India were 195 for three in 12.3 overs then. His dismissal temporarily slowed down India, but Jitesh picked up the speed quickly.

Jitesh reached his fifty in 24 balls with a six off Arfan, then waded into the pacer in the 19th over, smashing him for 6, 4, 4, 6 ad 6 as 28 runs were plundered.

Chasing 298 was never in the capacity of the UAE batters, and their genuine hope was just to keep the margin of defeat as low as possible. But even that was tough against a quality Indian attack that contained first-class regulars.
