Yuvraj Samra: Teenage Sensation Sets T20 World Cup Record

Yuvraj Samra, a 19-year-old Canadian cricketer, set a record by becoming the youngest player to score a hundred in the T20 World Cup. His explosive 110-run innings against New Zealand included 11 fours and 6 sixes, helping Canada reach a competitive total against a stronger team.

In a remarkable performance, Canadian cricketer Yuvraj Samra, just 19 years old, etched his name in the T20 World Cup's annals by becoming the youngest centurion in the tournament's history.

In Tuesday's Group D clash, Samra's scintillating 65-ball 110 laid a robust foundation for his team against New Zealand, guiding Canada to a competitive 173-run total.

Baljit Samra, a devoted cricket fan, named his son after Indian cricket hero Yuvraj Singh, an inspiration mirrored in the young batter's extraordinary innings which surpassed the previous fastest century record set by Pakistan's Ahmed Shehzad in 2014 when he was 22.
