After being dismissed for just two during India's first ICC U19 World Cup 2026 clash against USA, Suryavanshi took his time against Bangladesh to canter his way to a 30-ball fifty.

In the process, the left-hander from Bihar went past Kohli in the list that is headed by Vijay Zol. Suryavanshi, thus became the seventh Indian batter to cross the 1000-run mark in Youth ODIs. Kohli, who led India to a U-19 World Cup title in 2008, finished his Youth ODI career at 978 runs.
