Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Dramatic IPL Journey: From Record-Breaking Century to Heartbreaking Duck

Vaibhav Suryvanshi's Rollercoaster IPL Experience

In just three days, 14-year-old cricket sensation Vaibhav Suryvanshi experienced the highs and lows of the sport. On April 28, he made headlines by scoring a remarkable 35-ball century against the Gujarat Titans, earning the title of the youngest centurion in T20 cricket and setting a record for the fastest century by an Indian in the IPL.

However, just three days later, at the same Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Suryvanshi faced a disappointing moment, scoring a duck against the Mumbai Indians. The young player was visibly upset and reluctant to leave the field after his dismissal. A video surfaced showing the MI players celebrating his wicket, but former captain Rohit Sharma stood out by not joining in the jubilation. Positioned at short third man, Sharma was the last to join the celebratory huddle, walking past Suryvanshi instead of rushing to congratulate the fielder, Will Jacks.

After Suryvanshi's record-breaking performance against GT, Rohit Sharma shared a heartfelt story on social media, posting a picture of the young player raising his bat to the crowd. He captioned it simply as "Class," tagging Suryvanshi in the post.
