The cricketing world stood in awe on Monday night as 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi created history by scoring the fastest century by an Indian in IPL history, lighting up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium and the internet in equal measure.

His brutal knock included 11 towering sixes and 7 fours, propelling the Rajasthan Royals to a commanding eight-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans.

He shared a 166-run partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal, anchoring the chase with fearless flair.

The unprecedented achievement drew widespread praise from the cricketing community.

Former record-holder Yusuf Pathan took to social media, writing, “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!”
