Vaibhav Suryavanshi: The boy wonder younger than IPL itself

Over the years, IPL has helped several Indian stars break down that one final door to Indian team selection, be it boy wonders like Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal or late bloomers like Suryakumar Yadav. Irrespective of age, state and experience, the IPL grind continues to pay off, enriching India's roster for the future. This could very well hold true for a 14 year, 33 days old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who slammed the fastest century by an Indian in the IPL history and became T20s' youngest centurion ever during the match against Gujarat Titans (GT) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday. During the match, he smashed a quickfire 101 in just 38 balls, consisting of seven fours and 11 sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 265.79.
