Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Rajasthan Royals’ 14-year-old batsman made history as the youngest player to smash a fastest century from 35 balls in men’s T20, in the Indian Premier League (IPL). 

Suryavanshi, who only turned 14 last month was signed at last year’s auction for £103, 789 (Rs 1.1 crores), smashed seven fours and 11 sixes before he was bowled for  101 from 38 balls, as the Rajasthan Royals claimed an eight-wicket win over Gujarat Titans, chasing 210. Suryavanshi put on 166 with India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, who ended unbeaten on 70 from 40.

Gujarat’s Shubman Gill made 84 from 50 balls and former England skipper Jos Buttler hit an unbeaten half-century in a losing match, as they drop to third in the IPL table on net run-rate.

Suryavanshi made headlines last October when, aged 13, he scored a 58-ball century for India Under 19s, in a youth Test against Australia under-19s in Chennai.
