Headline: Abhigyan Kundu’s Record-Breaking Double Century Propels India U-19 into ACC Asia Cup Semis
Dubai, UAE – Abhigyan Kundu smashed a sensational, unbeaten double century against Malaysia in the ACC U-19 Asia Cup, etching his name into the record books. The wicketkeeper-batsman’s blistering knock of 209 off just 125 balls, studded with 17 fours and 9 sixes, powered India to a massive 408/7 in their final group match at The Sevens Stadium on Tuesday, December 16.
Kundu’s feat marks the first-ever double century by an Indian batsman in Youth ODIs. It is also the second-highest individual score in Youth ODI history, only behind South Africa’s Jorich van Schalkwyk’s 215 against Zimbabwe U-19 earlier this year.
The innings saw Kundu surpass Ambati Rayudu’s previous Indian record of 177 not out, set in 2002. The score of 171 runs scored in the current tournament by Vaibhav Suryavanshi against UAE is third highest.
Vedant Trivedi contributed a solid 90, and Vaibhav Suryavanshi added 50 to India’s imposing total.
India had already secured a place in the semi-finals of the tournament after convincing wins against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Pakistan. They defeated UAE by 234 runs, powered by Suryavanshi’s 171. The Indian team then defeated Pakistan by 90 runs.
India will now face their semi-final opponent on December 19.
