What was even more eye dropping that he scored 94 of his 101 runs through boundaries with 11 sixes and seven fours to his name. His 166-run stand alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal earned a eight-wicket victory for Rajasthan Royals over Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
“Many congratulations to young #VaibhavSuryavanshi for breaking my record of the fastest @IPL hundred by an Indian! Even more special to see it happen while playing for @rajasthanroyals, just like I did. There’s truly something magical about this franchise for youngsters. Long way to go, champ!
“Vaibhav Suryavanshi, what an incredible talent..Scoring a century at just 14 is unreal. Keep shining brother …. #IPLCentury #vaibhavsuryavanshi,” posted India fast bowler Mohammed Shami
Suryavanshi’s 101-run innings, which saw him smash 11 massive sixes and seven boundaries, saw him surpassed Manish Pandey (19y 253d), Rishabh Pant ( 20y 218 d) and Devdutt Padikkal ( 20y 289d) to shatter the record of the youngest centurion in tournament history as he did it at the age of 14 years 32 days.
