Vaibhav Suryavanshi grabbed the attention with his sensational century against the Gujarat Titans (GT) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The 14-year-old scored a century in just 35 balls – the fastest Indian to reach the milestone in IPL history. He smashed 101 runs off 38 balls, with the help of 7 fours and 11 sixes.
"Not at all, not at all. I mean, look - when he entered the auction, he had already scored a hundred against Australia in a youth Test, and that was against a pretty good attack. For a 13-year-old to score a hundred against an international team, albeit not their top side, still shows the lad had talent. And he has just gone on and on from there," Gavaskar told JioStar.
