U19 World Cup 2026: The battle cry has started for the Under-19 World Cup 2026 to be held between 16 teams. At present, his warm ups are going on. That means teams are getting one last opportunity to test and test their strength. India Under 19 team has defeated Scotland in its first warm-up. His second warm up will be from England. But, the fun will start when the main matches of this ICC event start. As soon as it starts, the eyes of the whole of India will be focused on their team's star Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who in this Under-19 World Cup can not only be seen breaking the records set by Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill but can also be seen breaking world records.

In which respect will Suryavanshi be ahead of Kohli and Gill?

Now first of all, let us know which record of Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill is Vaibhav Suryavanshi going to break? This record is of runs scored by Virat and Gill in Under 19 ODI. Virat Kohli has scored a total of 978 runs in his Under 19 ODI career. Whereas Shubman Gill has scored 1149 runs. Vijay Jol has scored the maximum 1404 runs for India in ODIs. Now in the form Vaibhav Suryavanshi is in, by the end of the current Under-19 World Cup, he can become India's biggest Ranveer, leaving behind Virat-Gill.

How far away is Vaibhav from Virat and Gill?

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has scored a total of 973 runs in the 18 matches played so far in Under 19 ODI. Meaning, by scoring the next 6 runs in the Under 19 World Cup, he will overtake Virat Kohli and after scoring 177 runs, he will also overtake Shubman Gill. But, to become India's number 1 Ranveer in Under 19 ODI, he will have to perform the feat of breaking the world record.

Can break this world record and become number 1 Indian batsman

Now the question is, is it a world record? That charisma is associated with scoring the most runs in the history of the Under-19 World Cup. In the history of Under-19 World Cup, Eoin Morgan has scored the highest score of 606 runs while playing for Ireland. Now, if the India Under-19 team reaches the finals and Vaibhav Suryavanshi's form continues in the Under-19 World Cup 2026, then he can break Eoin Morgan's record and become the highest run-scorer in the Under-19 World Cup.
