Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s fearless and unfiltered aggression left Jaipur—and the entire cricketing world—in awe on Monday night. The 14-year-old left-hander smashed a breathtaking 35-ball century in just his third IPL appearance for the Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. At just 14 years and 32 days old, Suryavanshi became the youngest centurion in all men’s T20 history, surpassing former India U19 batter Vijay Zol’s record by nearly four years. He scored 101 in 38 balls and in doing so, the young prodigy shattered multiple records, rewriting the history books:
