Watch: Rahul Dravid gets off wheelchair to celebrate Vaibhav Suryavanshi's ton

Dubai: Indian teenage star Vaibhav Suryavanshi entered the history books after scoring the fastest IPL century from just 35 balls.

The left-handed opener also became the youngest player to hit a Twenty20 hundred as Rajasthan Royals recorded a thumping eight-wicket win over Gujarat Titans on Monday.

Among all the excited team members and staff at the dug-out, Rajasthan head coach Rahul Dravid who has a broken leg, was overwhelmed as he leaped out of his wheelchair to celebrate after the youngster hit a six off Afghanistan spin wizard Rashid Khan to bring up his century.

"It is like a dream," the teenager said after the match.

Dravid has been in a wheelchair since the start of the season after he injured his right leg while playing cricket with his son in Bengaluru.

Suryavanshi, had made headlines when he was bought by Rajasthan for Rs11 million after a bidding war at the November auction when he was aged 13.

"Vaibhav's fearless approach, bat speed, picking the length early and transferring the energy behind the ball was the recipe behind a fabulous innings," India cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar wrote on social media.

India's 1983 World Cup-winning batsman Kris Srikkanth lauded the teenager's "composure, class and courage" beyond his years, adding: "Indian cricket's next superstar is here."

India's T20 skipper and Mumbai Indians batsman Suryakumar Yadav said it had been "carnage of an innings" and "absolutely insane!"

On Tuesday, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar announced a cash prize of one million rupees ($11,700) for the budding batsman.

"I wish that Vaibhav creates new records for the Indian team in the future and brings glory to the country," Kumar said in a social media post.

Suryavanshi made his domestic debut aged only 12 in the Ranji Trophy in January 2024, then was selected for India's under-19 squad against a touring Australia team.
