Jaipur: 14-year-old prodigy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, shattered multiple long-standing Indian Premier League (IPL) records during his side’s match against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Monday.
Suryavanshi became the fastest Indian centurion in IPL history, reaching there in just 35 balls. He surpassed the previous record held by former India all-rounder Yusuf Pathan (37 balls vs Mumbai Indians). Suryavanshi is also the youngest centurion in IPL history (14 years 32 days), surpassing Manish Pandey (19 years 253 days).
Vaibhav Suryavanshi also broke a massive world record. He is now the youngest ever (14 years, 32 days) to score a ton in the T20 format. He broke the record of France’s Gustav Mckeon, who scored a ton at the age of 18 years 280 days against Switzerland in an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Sub Regional Europe Qualifier in 2022.
In the fourth over of RR’s chase, the southpaw from Bihar took down India’s 105 Tests veteran Ishan Kishan, clobbering him for 28 runs, including three 6s and two 4s. He also smashed debutant Karim Janat for 30 runs in the 10th over.
He was eventually dismissed on 101 (38) by Prasidh Krishna.
