Something quite unique happened once upon a time on a wonderful evening under the brilliant lights of a cricket stadium in Jaipur. Follow 1xBat for more sports news.
Not a grown-up, not even a teenager, a boy — 14 years and 32 days old did something never seen in the entire planet at his age. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is his name; his incredible cricket narrative is told here.
👀 Six on His First Ball!
Imagine your turn to bat in a game with large, powerful players. Most children would be rather afraid. But not Vaibhav, too.
He did something audacious on the very first ball he faced in the Indian Premier League (IPL): he smashed a huge six, swung his bat boldly, and sent the ball skyward!
That six went beyond a number. I’m here, and I’m ready was the message.
🔥 Fearless Like a Hero
Vaibhav gave no thought to the bowlers’ strength or notoriety. Not names like Jofra Archer or Mohammed Siraj frightening him.
He confronted them with bravery and a great smile, much like a superhero might approach a dragon.
Vaibhav remained cool even in practice when most children would be anxious around well-known cricket players.
He even fearlessly struck his fastballs in the nets with Jofra Archer. “He’s not scared of anyone!” stated Vikram Rathore, the batting coach for Rajasthan Royals.
🌟 A Magical Night
Vaibhav engaged in one of the most thrilling games ever on April 28, 2025. The Gujarat Titans he was playing against felt they had enough runs to win. Vaibhav, though, had other ideas.
He began by crossing the long-on boundary off Mohammed Siraj with a 90-meter six. That is as long as practically a whole cricket pitch and more!
Then followed over after over of great batting – he struck 28 runs in one over against Ishant Sharma!
Washington Sundar handed away twenty-one runs.
Prasidh Krishna got knocked for seventeen runs.
Karim Janat struck thirty runs off his bowling!
The stadium was Vaibhav’s fairy tale playground; his bat seemed like a magic wand.
🌟 Though Most Were Strong, Some Were Lucky!
Indeed, not every shot found the middle of his bat. A few shots off the brink. Some overlooked.
That’s good, though! Vaibhav maintained trying, swinging, and believing in himself. And as someone once noted: “Luck comes to those who are ready for it!”
Over the fielders, he performed pulls, flicks, drives, even audacious chips. And now, guess what? He already had a half-century (50 runs) by the fifth over!
🏆 An Amazing Century
People leaped from their chairs, clapped, yelled, and even danced when he at last hit 100 runs. What then?
For an Indian in IPL history, it was the fastest century ever.
The second-fastest century in all of IPL; moreover, most remarkably — no one young has ever struck a century in a T20 match anyplace in the globe.
☺ 🎓 Why Is He So Different?
Some cricket stars sought to decipher Vaibhav’s magic:
The “God of Cricket,” Sachin Tendulkar, said Vaibhav is good since he swings the bat quickly, chooses the ball early, and plays fearlessly.
In particular: Coach Rathore commented simply: “He has a tremendous downswing! (That implies his bat movement is quite strong and fluid.)”
Still, they also issued a tiny warning: he’s just starting. He should not be under too much strain. Let him keep studying and enjoy the game.
🌄 From Bihar to the Big League
Vaibhav is from Bihar, the same state where MS Dhoni started his adventure. Dhoni turned into one of India’s best captains. Now, possibly a new star is rising in Vaibhav as Dhoni’s cricket career is gradually coming to an end.
🌞 A Lad from the Sun Clan
What does “Suryavanshi” signify, by chance?
That implies “belonging to the family of the sun.”
Like the sun, Vaibhav shone brightest amid a sky full of stars – Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudarshan — all outstanding players who performed that day. But everyone’s gaze landed on Vaibhav’s light.
🌟 What Might Vaibhav Teach Us?
If you believe in yourself and avoid fearing difficult tasks, even if you’re small or young you can do BIG things.
Keep on improving; remain modest and friendly.
Vaibhav started following his aspirations without waiting to grow up. He started with a large bat and an even larger heart.
☺ ☺ Vaibhav, Then What Is Next?
He still has a great distance ahead. He will continue to develop, learn, and practice. One thing is clear, though: the world is watching. And every little lad and girl who enjoys cricket today understands:
“Maybe I can too! If Vaibhav can do it at 14.”
