Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old boy, stole the show on Monday during the clash between Gujarat Titans (GT) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Suryavanshi scripted history by becoming the youngest-ever centurion in the history of the T20 tournament as he slammed a century off 35 balls at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Well, it seems from Rahul Dravid to former India batsman Ajay Jadeja, who didn't hold back himself in expressing his displeasure after GT captain Shubham Gill dismissed Suryavanshi's 101-run innings as merely a 'lucky day', the young player stunned the entire stadium.
Suryavanshi's blistering innings, featuring eight fours and 11 sixes, gave the RR a ball-dominant eight-wicket victory. The host reached the total with 25 balls to spare while chasing a target of 210, completely deflating the GT.
After GT's loss, Captain Shubhman Gill was asked to describe his feelings after seeing Suryavanshi's knock, and he said that the left-hander had a lucky day and made the most of his chances.
¡°It was his (lucky) day. His hitting was just tremendous, and he made full use of his day,¡± said Shubman Gill while speaking to the host broadcaster.
Ajay Jadeja, on the other hand, looked not really happy with Gill dismissing the knock like this. The former Indian batsman seemed to have a lot to say, but he was cut off due to the post-match presentation.
While speaking to JioHostar, Jadeja said, ¡°But a 14-year-old to believe in himself, the amount that he believes in himself, and to take it that far, even if it's, you know, one day like some player on television just said, Oh, it was just his lucky day."
The 14-year-old left-hander stunned the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, showing no respect to senior Indian bowlers, including Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, as he went after them to bowl at number 1.
In the fourth over bowled by Ishan Sharma, Suryavanshi scored 28 runs, while another over dished out by Karim Janat, the youngest, smashed 30 runs. Along with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Suryavanshi, they put on 166 runs for the opening wicket.
However, he eventually walked back after scoring 101 runs off 38 balls. He was knocked out by Prasidh Krishna.?
