Several Indian cricketers including Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh praised Vaibhav Suryavanshi for his jaw-dropping knock in Rajasthan Royals’ clash against Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League 2025. Suryavanshi shattered the record for becoming the youngest player to hit a ton in T20s.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi turned the heads with a jaw-dropping knock in the Rajasthan Royals’ clash against the Gujarat Titans. Suryavanshi created history as he became the youngest-ever cricketer to hit a hundred in T20 cricket.
