The 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi on Monday proved why RR decided to spend Rs 1.1 crore on him during the IPL 2025 auction as the youngster stood tall when the team needed him most, in a do-or-die clash against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur. 

 

RR was handed a mammoth total of 210 to chase, but Vaibhav seemed like nothing could faze him as he scored a 38-ball 101 and added 166 runs for the first wicket to help RR secure 8 wickets win in 210 runs chase. In the meantime, Vaibhav broke multiple records, including scoring the fastest century by an Indian and the second-fastest overall. Vaibhav took 35 balls to complete his century, which is two balls fewer than the second-fastest Indian, Yusuf Pathan, and only five balls more than Chris Gayle, who scored a 30-ball century against Pune Warriors India.
