Vaibhav Sooryavanshi once again stunned the cricket world with another brilliant hundred in the Indian Premier League. The 15-year-old star scored 103 runs off just 37 balls for Rajasthan Royals against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Jaipur.
It was RR’s first game back at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Sooryavanshi made an instant impact. He attacked from the very first ball. The young left-hander hit Praful Hinge for four sixes in the opening over. The crowd erupted with every shot.
He continued his fearless batting. Boundaries kept coming from his bat. He reached his century in just 36 balls. He smashed Sakib Hussain for a six down the ground to complete the milestone. It was one of the fastest hundreds in IPL history.
Special celebration steals the show
After reaching his hundred, Sooryavanshi celebrated in style. He made a heart gesture with his hands. Then he saluted towards the dressing room. Fans in the stadium cheered loudly. Some were even seen bowing down to his incredible innings.
However, his stay ended soon after. Sakib Hussain dismissed him leg before wicket in the next ball. He walked back after a memorable knock.
Rajasthan Royals posted a huge total of 228/6. Yashasvi Jaiswal fell early. Dhruv Jurel supported Sooryavanshi well. The duo added 112 runs in 62 balls. Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer failed to score big. Donovan Ferreira played a quick cameo of 33 runs off 16 balls.
