Representing Rajasthan Royals, batting prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi on Monday etched his name in cricketing history by becoming the youngest player to score a century in senior men’s T20 cricket. Aged just 14 years and 32 days, Suryavanshi powered Rajasthan Royals to a dominant victory over Gujarat Titans in the IPL, lighting up Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium with a breathtaking innings.
The left-handed batter, who made his IPL debut on April 19, unleashed a fearless assault on the Titans’ bowling attack, racing to a century in just 35 deliveries. His explosive knock featured seven boundaries and an astonishing 11 sixes, leaving the opposition stunned and the crowd in awe. Suryavanshi eventually fell for 101 off 38 balls, bowled by pacer Prasidh Krishna, but not before receiving a standing ovation from the stadium and the Royals’ dugout for his heroic performance.
