Suryavanshi dubbed India's next star after new records

Vaibhav Suryavanshi was touted as Indian cricket's next superstar on Tuesday after the 14-year-old's IPL century off 35 balls shattered batting records.
NEW DELHI:
Left-handed opener Suryavanshi became the youngest player to hit a Twenty20 hundred in Rajasthan Royals' thumping eight-wicket win over Gujarat Titans on Monday.
"It is like a dream," the teenager said.
In only his third Indian Premier League match, he scored the second-fastest century in competition history, second only to Chris Gayle's 30-ball ton in 2013.
Nicknamed "Boss Baby", Suryavanshi has drawn instant comparisons with West Indies great Gayle, who styled himself as the "Universe Boss".
Suryavanshi, who made headlines when bought by Rajasthan for $130,500 after a bidding war at the November auction when aged 13, has been fearless in the face of seasoned opponents. He announced himself on debut earlier this month by launching his first ball in the IPL for six off experienced India pace bowler Shardul Thakur on his way to a quickfire 34 off 20 balls.
