Suryavanshi had shown glimpses of his ability with a first-ball six on his IPL debut earlier this month, and on Monday his explosive talent was on full display as he tore apart Gujarat Titans with a 38-ball 101 in the Royals' eight-wicket win.

Suryavanshi first rose to prominence last year when the then-13-year-old scored a 58-ball century for India’s U19 team in a Youth Test match against Australia. He made his first-class debut for Bihar at the age of 12 and has already featured in five Ranji Trophy matches, though he is yet to score a fifty in that format.

Suryavanshi, playing for Rajasthan Royals, smashed Gujarat Titans' Rashid Khan for a six over mid-wicket in Jaipur last night to become the youngest centurion in T20s. The cricketing world duly applauded his special feat.
