Social Media erupts as 14-Year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashes fastest IPL ton by an Indian

Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi created history by scoring the fastest century by an Indian in IPL history on Monday night, leading Rajasthan Royals to an eight-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. His explosive innings of 101 runs came off just 38 balls, including 11 sixes and seven fours, with 94 runs scored through boundaries.

Suryavanshi's remarkable innings saw him partner with Yashasvi Jaiswal in a 166-run stand. At 14 years and 32 days, he became the youngest centurion in tournament history, surpassing previous record holders Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, and Devdutt Padikkal.
