His 101 off just 35 balls in the Indian Premeir League for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans has taken the cricketing world by storm.
Just 14, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has smashed cricket history by becoming the youngest centurion in men’s T20 cricket. His 101 off just 35 balls in the Indian Premeir League for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans has taken the cricketing world by storm.
Suryavanshi’s was also the second-quickest IPL hundred after Chris Gayle’s 30-ball effort for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Pune Warriors in 2013.
Suryavanshi’s was the fastest by an Indian in the IPL. He bettered Yusuf Pathan’s 37-ball ton against Mumbai Indians in 2010.
Suryavanshi got to the landmark with a pulled six over midwicket off Rashid Khan, who stood in as GT’s captain during their defence after Shubman Gill was subbed out. That six followed a sequence of 6,4,6,4,4,6 in a 30-run over bowled by Afghanistan allrounder Karim Janat, who was making his IPL debut.
A whopping 94 of his 101 runs came via boundaries. He finished with 11 sixes, the joint most by an Indian in an IPL innings. His intent and explosive power against an attack that included seven international bowlers was sensational.
In the lead-up to the IPL, Suryavanshi had also hit a 58-ball hundred, the fastest by an Indian in youth Tests, against Australia Under-19s. Suryavanshi also scored two half-centuries in the Under-19 Asia Cup and boasts an unbeaten triple-century in an Under-19 tournament in Bihar.
Rajasthan Royals had , bought him for R 1.10 crore at the mega auction last November and worked with him at their high performance center.
