Rajasthan Royals' skipper Riyan Parag's mother seemed quite happy as Vaibhav Suryavanshi made the crowd at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur dance to his tunes amid his IPL 2025 hundred against the Gujarat Titans. In a video surfaced on social media, Parag's mom was seen applauding Sooryavanshi enthusiastically as Suryavanshi kept the crowd with some stunning shots against world-class bowlers.
Suryavanshi, who struck a 20-ball 34 on his IPL debut, took things to a whole new level during the clash against the Titans on Monday. The teenage prodigy struck a 35-ball 100 against the Titans, becoming the youngest cricketer to smash a ton and half-century in IPL history, doing so at 14 years of age. The 35-ball ton is also the second-fastest in IPL history.

"We knew what he was capable of and what kind of shots he can play" - Vikram Rathour on Vaibhav Suryavanshi
At the post-game presser, Royals batting coach Vikram Rathour said to see the youngster perform at the biggest stage with such calm and composure was stunning to witness. Rathour said, as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo:
"We have been watching it in [the] nets the last few months. So we knew what he was capable of and what kind of shots he can play. But to do it in front of this kind of crowd and in a situation like this, against a really good bowling attack, was really special. Saw him maybe four months back when he came for the trials. All of us knew we had found something special."
