Vaibhav
In a historic moment at Eden Gardens on Tuesday, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest player to score a century in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, announcing himself with a breathtaking performance against Maharashtra. The young left-hander’s feat marks a new milestone in Indian cricket history.
Bihar’s total was built almost entirely around his effort, as he took charge from the first ball, opening the innings and staying unbeaten till the last. However, despite Vaibhav’s heroics, Bihar still lost the match. Maharashtra chased down the target with three wickets in hand and five balls to spare. Prithvi Shaw’s 66 off 30 balls gave Maharashtra the perfect start and played a big role in their successful chase.
While Vaibhav stole the spotlight of the day, another impressive performance unfolded in Ahmedabad, where Devdutt Padikkal hammered a brilliant century for Karnataka against Tamil Nadu. Opening with Mayank Agarwal, Padikkal raced to a fifty off 26 balls and eventually reached his hundred in 45 deliveries. His unbeaten 102 featured 10 fours and six sixes, helping Karnataka post a commanding 245 for 3 in their 20 overs.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s century at just 14 years old not only rewrote the record books in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy but also signaled the rise of a prodigy. His remarkable achievement stands as the defining moment of the day—and perhaps the tournament—announcing a young talent poised for future success.
