At 14 Vaibhav Suryavanshi becomes the youngest batsman to score a century in the Indian Premier League IPL marking a record-breaking achievement on the cricket field. In just three matches this prodigious talent has already made his mark against seasoned international bowlers such as Shardul Thakur Mohammed Siraj Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan.
A Record-Breaking Performance
Vaibhav stunned audiences by hitting a 35-ball century against the Gujarat Titans a feat that positions him as the youngest and fastest Indian to reach such a milestone in the IPL. Not only does this achievement make him the youngest male player to score a T20 century but the sheer audacity of his play style is notable. From the first delivery he faced Vaibhav swung into action with a six off Shardul Thakur and went on to amass 11 sixes during his knock.
Reflecting on His Achievement
Speaking with IPLT20.com Vaibhav shared quotIt was a normal thing for me. I have played Under-19 for India and also at the domestic level where I have hit first ball sixes. I was not under pressure to play out the first 10 balls. In my mind I was clear that if the ball comes in my radar I will hit it.quot
Rooted in Bihar Soaring High
Born in Samastipur Bihar Vaibhavrsquos rise has been meteoric considering he was born three years after the IPL began. His remarkable 101 off 38 balls was crucial in leading the Rajasthan Royals to chase down 210 in just 15.5 overs. Of his total runs 94 came from boundaries underscoring his efficiency and power.
