Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest centurion in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy history, scoring an
unbeaten 108 for Bihar. His remarkable innings, however, wasn't enough as Maharashtra, led by Prithvi Shaw's 66, chased
down Bihar's total to secure a victory. The result gave Maharashtra their second win from four matches in the group.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi kept his strong run in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) on Tuesday with another significant
performance for Bihar. The 14-year-old scored an unbeaten 108 off 61 balls against Maharashtra in an Elite Group B match
played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. His innings included seven fours and seven sixes, and he played through the 20 overs
to take Bihar to 176 for 3. By reaching three figures, Suryavanshi became the youngest player in the history of the
tournament to hit a hundred. He achieved the record at 14 years and 250 days of age. The hundred also continued his
productive year in T20 cricket. Suryavanshi now has three T20 hundreds in 2025, which puts him joint-first among Indian
players this year along with Abhishek Sharma. Ayush Mhatre and Ishan Kishan have two hundreds each.

Suryavanshi has scored three hundreds in only 16 T20 innings. This puts him third on the list for the fewest innings
taken to reach three hundreds in the format. The top two places are held jointly by Ian Harvey of Australia and Darius
Visser of Samoa, who both reached three T20 hundreds in 11 innings. Meanwhile, Bihar’s total did not prove enough in the
SMAT match. Maharashtra captain Prithvi Shaw led the chase with a 30-ball 66 at the top of the order. Shaw is aiming to
draw the attention of IPL teams after going unsold in the IPL 2025 auction, and his quick start gave Maharashtra early
control. The team went on to reach the target with three wickets in hand and one over left. The result gave Maharashtra
their second win from four matches in the group. Bihar continued to look for their first win of the season after another
