14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a rising star for the Rajasthan Royals, made history in the IPL by scoring the fastest century by an Indian player. His incredible achievement came during a match against the Gujarat Titans where he reached his hundred in just 35 deliveries.
In a video posted by the IPL on social media platform X, Suryavanshi credited his success to the sacrifices made by his family. He spoke about his mother waking up early to prepare food for him before practice and sleeping only three hours as a result. Additionally, he mentioned that his father had left his job to support his cricketing dreams, with his older brother now taking care of the family business. Suryavanshi expressed gratitude towards his parents for their unwavering support and belief in his abilities.
The young batsman’s innings was nothing short of spectacular, starting with a massive six over long-on against Mohammed Siraj and continuing his assault against Rashid Khan, one of T20 cricket’s top bowlers. His innings finally came to an end at 101 runs from just 38 deliveries when Prasidh Krishna bowled a yorker, but by then Rajasthan had the match firmly in control, ultimately winning by 8 wickets.
Cricket analysts are already praising Suryavanshi as one of India’s most promising batting talents for the future, especially considering his record-breaking performance in his debut IPL season. His remarkable achievement has captured the attention of fans and experts alike, solidifying his status as a player to watch in the world of cricket.
