💬 Bridging Perspectives
Cricket is a game where legends are born, but rarely does a teenager walk onto the grandest stage and leave the world in awe. On a memorable Monday night in IPL 2025, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old from Bihar, did just that-blasting his way into the record books and the hearts of millions.
Breaking Barriers at Lightning Speed
Playing for the Rajasthan Royals, Suryavanshi unleashed a whirlwind of strokes against the Gujarat Titans, reaching his century in just 35 balls. This made him not only the youngest batter to score a T20 century in IPL history but also the fastest Indian to achieve this feat. His final tally-101 runs off 38 balls-was a masterclass in fearless, modern-day batting.
Only the legendary Chris Gayle has reached an IPL century faster, with his iconic 30-ball ton. For a schoolboy to come so close to such a record is nothing short of extraordinary.
Legends Shower Praise
Suryavanshi’s innings sent shock-waves through the cricketing fraternity. Social media erupted with tributes from some of the biggest names in the sport:
Sachin Tendulkar praised the youngster’s technique and mindset, highlighting his “fearless approach, bat speed, and ability to pick length early.”
Yuvraj Singh marvelled at his composure: “What were you doing at 14?!! This kid is taking on the best bowlers in the world without blinking an eyelid! Vaibhav Suryavanshi - remember the name!”
Kris Srikkanth, the 1983 World Cup winner, called it “composure, class, and courage beyond his years,” adding, “We are witnessing the rise of a phenom.”
Yusuf Pathan, whose record for the fastest IPL hundred by an Indian was broken by Suryavanshi, expressed pride at seeing another Royals player achieve the feat: “There’s truly something magical about this franchise for youngsters.”
Mohammed Shami and Siddharth Kaul echoed the sentiment, calling the innings “unreal” and predicting a “future superstar.”
