“Rahul Dravid hugged Vaibhav Suryavanshi and wished him luck” - RR’s post-match scenes revealed after win over GT

In a candid conversation with Sports Today, Rajasthan Royals (RR) team manager Romi Bhinder has disclosed the post-match scenes between the team’s head coach Rahul Dravid and the opening batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old batter who made his IPL debut this season.

It’s important to note that Dravid, who is currently recovering from an injury, stood up to clap for Suryavanshi as the young batter created history by becoming the fastest Indian to score a century in IPL, taking only 35 balls.

"Obviously, it's a great pleasure for a great coach because he picked up Vaibhav in the auction and showed great belief, giving a sermon in all these practice sessions. And when you see the result, Rahul Dravid is also a human being - he is very happy and also feels that at least we've got some serious talent, and we are trying to give this serious talent to the country. Rahul bhai hugged him and wished him luck, and we need many more like him," Romi Bhinder told Sports Today.

Moving into the details of the match, the Rajasthan Royals were asked to chase down 210 runs by the Gujarat Titans. The 14-year-old left-handed batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who came out to bat alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal, went out all guns blazing.

He reached his fifty in only 17 balls, becoming the youngest batter to score an IPL fifty. A few balls later, he reached his century in only 35 balls, emerging as the fastest century by an Indian batter.

Eventually, Suryavanshi smacked 101 runs off 38 balls to emerge as the youngest batter in IPL history to score a century at the age of 14 years and 32 days. RR took only 15.5 overs to chase down the target with eight wickets in hand.
