14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Shatters Records with Century
NEWS CHARIOT : – In an unforgettable night at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, young prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi lit up Jaipur with a breathtaking century for Rajasthan Royals, stunning fans and cricket pundits alike. At just 14 years and 32 days old, Suryavanshi became the youngest player in IPL history to score a century, smashing the previous record held by Manish Pandey (19 years, 253 days) since 2009.
Opening the innings in a massive 210-run chase against Gujarat Titans, Suryavanshi showed maturity and fearlessness well beyond his years. His explosive batting in the powerplay, where Royals raced to 87/0, laid the foundation for the team’s dominant performance. He scored a blistering 101 off just 38 balls, before being bowled by a perfect yorker from Prasidh Krishna. His knock earned a standing ovation from a packed stadium.

National Record Smashed
