Vaibhav Suryavanshi announced himself on the grandest stage of Indian T20 cricket, becoming the youngest-ever centurion in IPL history as Rajasthan Royals defeated Gujarat Titans by eight wickets in a high-scoring contest on Monday. The 14-year-old prodigy from Samastipur smashed an astonishing 101 off just 38 balls, laced with 11 towering sixes and seven fours. His stunning innings also marked the fastest IPL century by any Indian, rewriting the tournament’s record books.
Chasing a stiff target of 210 on a batting-friendly surface at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Rajasthan Royals crossed the finish line with remarkable ease, finishing at 212 for two in just 15.5 overs. While Suryavanshi stole the show with his electrifying knock, Yashasvi Jaiswal provided solid support, remaining unbeaten on 70 off 40 deliveries to guide his team home.
