IPL 2025: ‘Then such a thing will be made’, Matthew Hayden gave this ‘Gurmantra’ to Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Matthew Hayden on Vaibhav Suryavanshi IPL 2025: In a tournament that redefined the possibilities, 14 -year -old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has emerged as the face of a new generation. This talented player of Rajasthan Royals (RR) created history by shocking the cricket world during his banging innings against Gujarat Titans (GT), the youngest Indian to become the fastest Indian to score a century in the youngest T20 century and the Indian Premier League (IPL). Australian cricket legend Matthew Hayden, considering the rise of the young player, advised him with heart and examined the reality on the challenges ahead. During the match, he scored a fast of 101 runs in just 38 balls, including seven fours and 11 sixes. His run came from a strike rate of 265.79.
Hayden told the reporters, “This is about what the children are dreaming about, what are their chances.” He emphasized the importance of promoting young talents. He said, “What will happen is that they will be welcomed among the cricket community … We hope that he is enjoying the game and the rest will also follow him.” He said, “My advice is to always maintain love towards the game.” He said, “This game is about developing your character. It is a very difficult game.” He said, “After his first century he was out for zero. You have to find ways of improvement. The game only challenges you.”
He broke several records on the biggest night of Suryavanshi’s career: Vaibhav completed his century in 35 balls, the second fastest century in the history of IPL, less than a century in Chris Gayle’s 30 balls, which he scored against Pune Warriors India for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2013. Vaibhav is now an Indian who scored the fastest century in the IPL. -The hand -handed player has become the youngest player to score a century in the history of T20 cricket at the age of 14 years and 32 days. He has surpassed Vijay Zol, who scored a century at the age of 18 years and 118 days while scoring a century for Maharashtra against Mumbai in 2013.
This is also the seventh fastest century of T20 cricket, with the fastest century Sahil Chauhan of Estonia in 2024 against Cyprus, which was scored in just 27 balls. Suryavanshi also completed his half -century in just 17 balls, the fifth fastest half -century in the history of the league, making him the youngest player to score a half -century in the IPL. Suryavanshi scored 94 runs through boundary, including seven fours and 11 sixes. 93% of the boundary percentage is the highest in any century in the history of IPL.
In addition, Vaibhav equaled the highest sixes placed by an Indian in an innings of IPL with former Indian batsman Murali Vijay, both hit 11-11 sixes, the most sixes Gayle hit during their prestigious 175* against Pune Warriors India, including 17 sixes. Apart from this, the 166 -run partnership between Vaibhav and Yashasvi Jaiswal is the biggest partnership for any wicket for Rajasthan Royals, which is ahead of the 155 -run partnership scored by Jose Butler and Devdutt Padikal against DC in Wankhede in 2022.
According to Wisdon.com, Suryavanshi also played only three innings to score his first IPL century, he left behind Punjab Kings (PBKS) batsmen Priyansh Arya and Paul Walthati, who played four innings.
