Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s 101-run innings against the Gujarat Giants left the cricket world both stunned and thrilled, with praise pouring in from all corners. Former South African fast bowler Shaun Pollock even suggested that Suryavanshi’s performance might be the finest in the 18-year history of the IPL.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi becomes youngest IPL centurion:
At just 14 years old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi etched his name in IPL history by becoming the youngest player ever to score a century, achieving the feat in only 35 balls against the Gujarat Titans. Stepping in for the injured Sanju Samson, he brought up his hundred with a six off Rashid Khan.
Previously, the record was held by Manish Pandey, who was 19 years and 253 days old when he scored a century for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against the now-defunct Deccan Chargers in 2009.
