Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14, Makes History as Youngest-Ever IPL Centurion with 35-Ball Hundred

 Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old, lit up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium with a record-breaking century against Gujarat Titans. The left-handed batter smashed the star-studded Gujarat Titans bowling attack all around the ground to complete his century off 35 balls. He reached the milestone with a maximum off Rashid Khan's delivery which showed his strong mindset and no fear of failure. The 14-year-old made sure the whole stadium stood up and bowed down to him as he smashed the second fastest century in IPL history - 35 balls. There was no stopping for him on Monday as he was off the mark with a six off Mohammed Siraj's delivery and didn't look back after that. He didn't shy away from taking a veteran like Ishant Sharma by smashing him for three sixes and two fours in a single over. His opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal finished with a strike rate of 175, but he still looked second fiddle in front of Suryavanshi, who smashed the bowlers at a 265.79 strike rate.

He completed his half-century off 17 balls, didn't stop after that, and continued taking on the Titans' bowling attack. He smashed Afghanistan's Karim Janat for 30 runs in an over to stamp his authority in the match. Rashid decided to take matters into his hands after his countryman was hammered, but he failed to stop the 14-year-old and was smashed for six when he was batting at 94 to become the second fastest centurion in the tournament after Chris Gayle (30 balls).
