Inside Vaibhav Suryavanshi age row as 14-year-old cricket star makes IPL history
India’s latest cricket sensation found himself at the centre of an age row before making IPL history with a stunning century for the Rajasthan Royals. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is just 14 years old, became the youngest player to record a three-figure knock in T20 cricket on Monday evening. He reached his century in 35 balls, hitting 11 sixes and seven fours.
Suryavanshi was eventually bowled for 101 from 38 balls as the Royals surged to an eight-wicket victory over the Gujarat Titans. It was the second-fastest century in IPL history and the fastest by an Indian player. Just weeks ago, Suryavanshi became the youngest player to feature in the IPL and made an immediate splash by hitting his first ball for six.
