Rohit Sharma lauds Vaibhav Suryavanshi after his record-breaking ton in IPL 2025

In his three-match IPL 2025 career, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has taken down international bowlers Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Rashid Khan. This was only possible because he was completely free of pressure.

He knew he would score big if the ball was in his arc, and he delivered, smashing his first IPL century off just 35 balls, which included 7 fours and 11 sixes.

He became the youngest player to score a century in both IPL and T20 cricket; his century was the second fastest in IPL history and the fastest by an Indian in the league.

The signs were evident when Vaibhav hit a six off his very first ball against Shardul Thakur. He scored a quick 34 against LSG that day, but his true potential was fully displayed against GT. Vaibhav smashed 11 sixes against GT.

Rohit Sharma lauds Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s brilliant century for RR

The cricketing world was quick to take notice, and none other than Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma expressed his admiration for the young star. Rohit, renowned for his elegant stroke play and sharp eye for talent, took to Instagram to celebrate Vaibhav's achievement.

He shared a picture of Suryavanshi raising his bat after reaching his century and added a simple yet powerful caption: "Class."

Receiving such high praise from the Indian skipper is a significant boost for the 14-year-old, who is already being recognized as one of the most promising prospects for the future of Indian cricket. Rohit's endorsement could very well accelerate Vaibhav's path toward an India call-up in the coming years.

Vaibhav's fearless mindset and remarkable composure at such a young age have distinguished him from many. His exceptional innings against a strong Gujarat Titans bowling lineup has now firmly cemented his status as a player to watch in the upcoming seasons.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's adventure has only just begun, but the national captain and cricketing icons have already acknowledged his brilliance. The signals obviously suggest that this will be something really remarkable.
