Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar praised 14 -year -old Rajasthan Royals, with an innings breaking innings against Gujarat Titans. Vaibhav defeated RR by eight wickets in the IPL 2025 match at Sarai Mansingh Stadium on Monday to break a combative 101 balls off 38 balls. Since becoming the youngest debutant in the IPL, in less than a fortnight, Vaibhav broke a pile of records with an inspired century against GT. His ton, which hit only 35 balls to register, the fastest century by an Indian player in the IPL and the second fastest of all time, just five balls were slow compared to Chris Gayle’s historic innings since 2013.
At the age of 14 years and 32 days, Vaibhav also became the youngest player who score in a century in IPL and T20 cricket.
“I have never seen such a spectacular performance, and I had never imagined that he was Sachin Tendulkar at 14 or 15, but he went through the Runj Trophy, Dalip Trophy before playing for the country. Parthiv Patel once came without first-class cricket experience and saved a Test match for India. But it is completely different.
“This is T20 cricket-a fearless 14-year-old man 3-4 out of the best bowlers: Rashid Khan, Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Siraj, and Prasad Krishna. Chasing a target around 210, a lot of fact that he was simply going on-was a particularly untriendly shots through on-side.
Bangar said on Gehotstar, “That six was completely incredible, completely unreliable, with his weight on the back leg of Prasad Krishna with his weight on the back leg.”
The 14 -year -old brought 50 out of 50 in 17 balls to hit Washington Sundar for two sixes and brought it to one four within a gap of just four delivery in the fifth over. This was the fastest fifty of IPL 2025. He continued his fierceness to bring his centenary with a trademark six from Rashid Khan. Prasad Krishna eventually rejected him in the next over.
Bangar further talked about the importance of Vaibhav’s achievement and its wave effect beyond the match. “I loved his celebration too-a simple, almost salute-like gesture with Balley, as saying,” Remember me in my prayers. ” Such swags.
“From Bihar, where he comes from, this moment will have a big impact – to motivate countless youth to wake up at 7 am. His achievement leaves an impression that will stay with them for a very long time,” he said.
