India, Aug. 9 -- Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old sensation, became a household name after his exploits in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Rajasthan Royals. He announced himself at the grandest stage of them all by hitting a six off the bowling of Shardul Thakur against Lucknow Super Giants. It must be mentioned that this was Suryavanshi's first delivery in the tournament. A few games later, the southpaw registered the fastest century by an Indian, scoring a ton off just 35 balls against Shubman Gill's Gujarat Titans.

Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who represented Chennai Super Kings in this year's IPL, said he was left shocked after seeing the range of the young batter.
