Vaibhav Suryavanshi lit up an absolute storm, which broke the web within the Indian Premier League 2025 clash between the Rajasthan Royals and the Gujarat Titans on the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday evening.
The 14-year-old teenager wreaked havoc in Jaipur as he smashed the experienced bowling attack of the Gujarat Titans for maximums left-right and centre, hitting his maiden century within the tournament in only 35 balls.
The previous Australian captain, Aaron Finch, was in awe of the young star. He wrote a post on X (formerly generally known as Twitter) where he asked,” Have you ever ever seen anything like this? #vaibhavsuryavanshi what a talent!!”
The previous West Indies cricketer, Ian Bishop, was like most of us, in awe of the young talent who went berserk with the bat in Jaipur. His post said, “14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has bludgeoned an IPL century in 2025 off 35 deliveries. Remarkable.”
