New Delhi, April 29 (NationPress) Following the impressive displays of Rajasthan Royals' young batting prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has captured the attention of cricket enthusiasts during the IPL, his coach Robin Singh commended the 14-year-old's remarkable achievements as a result of his unwavering commitment and hard work over the years.
In just his third IPL appearance, Suryavanshi broke multiple records with an extraordinary century against Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday. The young batter made history by scoring a century in just 35 balls, marking the fastest century by an Indian player in the IPL and the second-fastest in the tournament's history.
At the age of 14 years and 32 days, Suryavanshi achieved a stunning 101 runs off a mere 38 balls against GT, making him the youngest player to score a century in both IPL and T20 cricket overall.
"Vaibhav was only 8 years old when he joined us. My fellow coach, Manish Kumar, and I began his training. We dedicated ourselves greatly, but Vaibhav has put in more effort than any of us. It is the player who elevates the coach, not the other way around. Vaibhav is a prime example of this," Singh expressed during an interview on Star Sports.
Suryavanshi's coach also acknowledged the pivotal role played by his father, Sanjeev Suryavanshi, whose unwavering belief in his son's extraordinary talent has been crucial in shaping the young cricketer's career.
"His father, Sanjeev Suryavanshi, was the first to recognize that spark. Without fail, he would travel from Samastipur to Patna four times a week to ensure his son could train. Such dedication deserves recognition. Sanjeev was the first to believe in Vaibhav's potential," he added.
Almost two weeks ago, the teenager made history as the youngest player to debut in the IPL. He announced his presence with a six off the very first ball he faced against Lucknow Super Giants, scoring a quick 34 runs off just 20 balls, including two boundaries and three massive sixes in his inaugural match.
The coach concluded with an inspiring message for his ward: "This is merely the beginning. Continue believing in yourself. Play with fearless intent, and most importantly, keep advancing as you always have," said Singh.
