**Jaipur, India** – A stunning century by 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi propelled the Rajasthan Royals to an emphatic 8-wicket victory over the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday. The win ended a five-match losing streak for Rajasthan.
Suryavanshi’s breathtaking innings of 101 runs off just 35 balls shattered several IPL records. He became the youngest player ever to score a century in the IPL and the fastest Indian to reach the milestone in the tournament’s history. His knock included 7 fours and 11 sixes. He also set a new record for the fastest fifty by an Indian in the IPL this season.
Batting first, Gujarat Titans posted a challenging 209/4, thanks to Shubman Gill’s 84 and Jos Buttler’s 50. However, Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal (70 not out) launched a blistering chase, putting on a 150-run partnership before Suryavanshi was dismissed. Ryan Parag finished the game with a six, remaining unbeaten on 32 runs.
Rajasthan reached the target in just 16 overs, with two wickets down. Mahesh Teekshana was the pick of the Rajasthan bowlers, taking 2 wickets for Gujarat.
This victory is a significant boost for Rajasthan Royals, who had been struggling in recent matches. Suryavanshi’s exceptional performance has not only secured a win but has also established him as a prodigious talent in the world of T20 cricket.
