14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Smashes Records with 35-Ball IPL Century

The Rajasthan Royals prodigy became the youngest T20 centurion and fastest Indian to hit an IPL hundred, leading his team to a commanding win over Gujarat Titans.

14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi made a mockery of the Gujarat Titans bowling, a number of batting records and a target of 210 as he powered the Rajasthan Royals to an eight-wicket win. RR have thus just about stayed alive in the race for the playoffs, with the side being mathematically knocked out had they lost this game.
