Vaibhav Suryavanshi Scripts History, 14-year-Old Shatters Three Records With 17-Ball 50 For RR vs GT In IPL 2025

Vaibhav Suryavanshi lit up the IPL 2024 on Monday as the 14-year-old slammed fiery half-century off just 17 balls for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans in an IPL 2025 match in Jaipur on Monday.
