Suryavanshi, who has become the toast of the cricketing world, couldn’t continue his impressive run in RR’s clash against KKR at the Eden Gardens on Sunday as he was dismissed cheaply on just 4 off 2 balls. The 14-year-old left-hander got caught by Ajinkya Rahane trying to smash a bouncer from KKR pacer Vaibhav Arora.
Suryavanshi recently became the youngest centurion in T20 cricket after smashing a stunning knock of 101 runs off just 38 balls to help the Rajasthan Royals thrash the Gujarat Titans by 8 wickets in IPL 2025. Suryavanshi notched up his ton off just 35 balls, scoring the fastest ton by an Indian in the tournament. His knock was laced with 11 sixes and 7 fours as he lit up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur with fireworks off his bat.
