India and Rajasthan Royals former hard hitting all-rounder Yusuf Pathan congratulated Rajasthan Royals’ newest batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi after the latter broke his record to score the fastest IPL ton by an Indian player.
Taking to ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), Yusuf wrote, “Many congratulations to young #VaibhavSuryavanshi for breaking my record of the fastest @IPL hundred by an Indian! Even more special to see it happen while playing for @rajasthanroyals, just like I did. There’s truly something magical about this franchise for youngsters. Long way to go, champ!”
Additionally Suryavanshi created history on Monday when he became the youngest batter ever to score an IPL century at the age of 14 years and 32 days.
Suryavanshi brought up his whirlwind ton off only 35 balls with a whopping 11 sixes and seven fours, recording the second fastest century in the history of IPL. He was finally out for 101 off 37 balls, becoming the youngest ever to score a century in men’s T20 cricket.
The record of fastest century in IPL belongs to former West Indies batter Chris Gayle, who had brought up his triple figure mark in 30 balls for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Pune Warriors in April 2013.
