A 14-year-old hitting an IPL century is no small feat. The fact that Vaibhav Suryavanshi exudes a level of confidence and ability far beyond that of his age is an exciting revelation for the Rajasthan Royals and Indian cricket as a whole. At 14 years and 32 days of age, the teenagr broke the record for youngest player to score an IPL ton while also being the second fastest in the history of the competition to do it (in 35 balls).

The Indian Premier League 2025’s biggest revelation so far has been the 14-year-old RR power hitter, but his rise to fame and the road to an IPL contract has been far from sunshine and rainbows. Speaking to the Indian Premier League, the batsman credited his parents for their dedication and sacrifice in helping him reach where he is today.

Family ties

“Whoever I am today, it is beacause of my parents. My mother used to wake up at 2 and go to sleep at 11 (PM) beacuse of my practice and then used to make food for me too. My father left his job for me and now my brother is taking care of things. Things were very difficult at home, but God looks after those who aren’t able to succeed despite putting in hard work.”, said Suryavanshi in a video released on the official IPL account on  Instagram.

Despite praise falling on the youngster from all sides, the RR star was quick to deflect the credit to his parents. “Whatever result that I see today, whatever success I attain is all because of my parents”. Following his showstopping 101 from 38 against the Gujarat Titans on Sunday, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, former chief selector and World Cup winner with India in 1983 said, “Composure, class and courage beyond his years. We are witnessing the rise of a phenom. Indian cricket’s next super star is here”.

All for the team

In the video posted on Instagram, Suryavanshi also adds, “I want to do my best and contribute as much as I can to the team. The teenager also expressed his excitement at the opportunity to play under the legendary Rahul Dravid and the unrelenting support and advice from his teammates at RR that fill him with confidence and takes away the nerves and stress ahead of a game.
