14-Year-Old Smashes Century in T20 Classic
2 Dec
Summary
- Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14, scored 108 off 61 balls.
- He is the youngest to score a century in the tournament.
- Suryavanshi also hit a century in the IPL recently.
In a stunning display of young talent, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi achieved a historic milestone by scoring a century in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Playing for Bihar against Maharashtra at Kolkata's Eden Gardens, Suryavanshi notched up 108 runs from 61 deliveries. This incredible performance made him the youngest ever player to record a century in this prestigious domestic T20 tournament, underscoring his prodigious skills.
Suryavanshi's mature innings, which included seven boundaries and seven sixes, was the slowest of his T20 centuries, reaching three figures in 58 balls. His knock was crucial in helping Bihar set a respectable total, as the next highest score for his team was only 26. He remained unbeaten, carrying his bat through the entire innings, demonstrating exceptional composure under pressure.
This latest feat adds to Suryavanshi's already impressive T20 resume. Less than a month prior, he hammered 144 off 42 balls in the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament. Furthermore, he recently scored the fastest IPL century by an Indian player for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans earlier this year.
