Six sensation Meet sport's new teenage superstar

Life moves fast in the Indian Premier League, the richest and most popular cricket competition in the world. A fortnight ago Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14, was a fringe player for the Rajasthan Royals and the youngest of a bunch of teenagers on the books of the league's 10 teams.

On 19 April he made his debut and hit his first ball for six. Then, on 28 April, in an hour of incendiary batting, he scored a hundred runs off 35 balls, with sixes disappearing to all corners. It was the second-fastest century in the history of the tournament and, by the time he went to bed that night, Suryavanshi was one of the most famous people in India.

In the days since, Suryavanshi's innings has been pored over by millions of fans, the clips watched, and shared, over and again, on social media. His short life story has been retold endlessly on TV, radio, podcasts, and in print. He has been praised by politicians, sportsmen and celebrities, and offered advice by everyone who is anyone in Indian cricket.

In that time Suryavanshi has weathered his first scandal. An old video interview in which he stated he was 18 months older than his registered age went viral and was reported on around the world.
