Teenager Breaks IPL Records: Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 101 Runs Shake Gujarat Titans

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] April 29: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, just 14, grew up playing with tennis balls in narrow streets. His talent was raw, but his will was strong. When trials were held by Rajasthan Royals in Nagpur, he was chosen not by luck, but by the hard work he had put in quietly for years.

Family’s Faith Never Wavered

Vaibhav’s father, Sanjiv Suryavanshi, always believed that their son would do something special. Even when money was tight, the family ensured Vaibhav had a bat, ball, and time to practice. His mother took care of everything at home so Vaibhav could focus on cricket. Their support was silent but strong. When he hit that century, it wasn’t just his win—it was the family's win too.

Magic Moment in the Match

Rajasthan Royals were chasing a big score when Vaibhav walked in to bat. He didn’t look nervous. With each stroke, he showed maturity beyond his age. He reached his hundred in just 35 balls, smashing sixes like a pro. The Gujarat Titans bowlers had no answers. It was not just a fast century—it was a powerful statement from a teenager who wasn’t scared of the spotlight.

Support Beyond the Family

Behind the scenes, many helped Vaibhav grow. Rajasthan Royals' assistant coach Vikram Rathour noticed his batting talent early. The team’s trust in him became clear when they bought him for ₹1.10 crore. Bihar Cricket Association’s Rakesh Tiwary also played a key role by giving him a chance at the senior level. Even Rahul Dravid, known for grooming young players, helped polish Vaibhav’s skills.

A Proud Moment for the Country

When Vaibhav scored that century, not just his village, but all of India celebrated. His father, filled with emotion, thanked every person who guided his son’s path. For many young boys in small towns, Vaibhav has now become a symbol of hope. His story proves that age is just a number and hard work always shines. From Bihar’s lanes to IPL’s big stadiums, the journey has only just begun.
