Suryavanshi's Ton Fires Rajasthan Royals to 8-wicket Win Over GT
The Daily Guardian
|April 29, 2025
Chasing a stiff target of 210 on a friendly wicket, Rajasthan Royals went past the winning line, making 212 for two in 15.5 overs.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi struck the fastest hundred for any Indian and the country's youngest ever in the IPL as Rajasthan Royals defeated Gujarat Titans by eight wickets in their contest here on Monday.
Suryavanshi hit 101 off 38 balls with as many as 11 sixes and seven fours as he became the youngest ever in the history of the tournament to complete a century at the age of 14 years and 32 days.
Chasing a stiff target of 210 on a friendly wicket, Rajasthan Royals went past the winning line, making 212 for two in 15.5 overs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 40-ball 70 not out in the chase.
Earlier, skipper Shubman Gill struck 84 while Jos Buttler hammered unbeaten 50 to take Gujarat Titans to a formidable total of 209 for four.
Meanwhile, for the record, Royals kept their play-off qualification hopes alive with a walk-in-the-park eight-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in a chase of 210 made easy by a chubby-cheeked prodigy from Bihar's Samastipur, who was born three years after the cash-rich league started.
His 35-ball century is now the second fastest in IPL and fastest ever for any Indian after Chris Gayle's 30-ball knock for RCB.
