Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Left Stunned After Missing IPL’s Fastest Century by Just 3 Runs

The young Rajasthan Royals sensation, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, came agonisingly close to scripting IPL history during the Eliminator clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Mullanpur on Wednesday. Chasing the milestone of the fastest century in IPL history, the 15-year-old batter was dismissed for a breathtaking 97 off just 29 deliveries.

Sooryavanshi had already shattered Chris Gayle’s long-standing record for the most sixes in a single IPL season and looked set to surpass another iconic feat — Gayle’s 30-ball IPL hundred set 13 years ago. Standing at 97 runs, just three short of a memorable century, the youngster mistimed his shot and was caught at deep third man in the eighth over.

The dismissal left Sooryavanshi frozen at the crease, visibly struggling to process how close he had come to an unforgettable record-breaking moment. Despite falling short of the landmark, his fearless innings played a key role in keeping Rajasthan Royals’ title hopes alive and further cemented his status as one of cricket’s brightest emerging stars.
