He emphasised that Suryavanshi's brilliance deserved far more appreciation, especially given the age and pressure involved.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 101 off just 38 balls lit up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. He smashed 11 sixes and 7 fours, reaching his century in 35 balls, becoming the second-fastest in
IPL history
and the fastest by any Indian in the league.
He's now the youngest player in
IPL
and T20 history to score a hundred, achieving the feat at just 14 years and 32 days old.
His 166-run stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal is the highest ever for Rajasthan Royals in IPL history. The teenager has now scored 151 runs in three matches at an average of 75.50 and a strike rate over 222.
Vaibhav's performance is no fluke. He's already represented India U-19 and made a mark in domestic cricket.
From hitting a six off his first IPL ball to creating history, the youngster's journey is just beginning and deserves all the credit it can get.

Karnataka high court bars police from widening RCB stampede probe for now
The Karnataka high court on Tuesday barred the state police from expanding the scope of its investigation beyond the initial first information report (FIR) registered in connection with the June 4 stampede at M Chinnaswamy Stadium that left 11 dead and several injured. The court also continued the restraint on the Bengaluru police from arresting officials of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), and event management firm DNA Entertainment in the case. Justice SR Krishna Kumar directed that, for the time being, police must confine their investigation to the offences mentioned in the first of three FIRs registered suo motu following the incident. The court extended the interim protection from arrest granted earlier to the senior officials of RCB, KSCA, and DNA Entertainment until July 8. The FIR, registered at the Cubbon Park Police Station in Bengaluru, names the KSCA management for alleged negligence during the crowd-control disaster that unfolded as thousands gathered to greet the RCB team following its first-ever IPL title win. It also charges them under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for the offence of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. While all three entities have been named in the FIRs, no specific individuals from any of the organisations have been identified as accused. The court also took note of the state government's submission that only the FIR currently under investigation by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) would be pursued. The direction came during hearings on pleas filed by RCB, DNA and KSCA seeking quashing of the FIRs. Their counsel argued that all three FIRs arose from the same incident and covered identical grounds, making multiple investigations unwarranted. The stampede took place on June 4 when an overwhelming crowd turned up at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to witness RCB's IPL victory celebrations. According to the state, the stadium's capacity is around 30,000, but over two lakh people reportedly gathered outside and around the venue. The government has maintained that the tragedy was triggered by RCB's announcement of free passes for fans to attend the event. It alleged that RCB and DNA Entertainment failed to obtain the necessary permissions or put in place basic safety measures to control the massive turnout. Meanwhile, in parallel proceedings, a separate bench comprising by acting chief justice V Kameswar Rao and justice CM Joshi, hearing a suo motu public interest litigation (PIL) into the incident, decided to implead RCB, DNA Entertainment and KSCA as parties to these proceedings. The bench also said it would appoint an amicus curiae to assist the court in examining the matter further. The state has already constituted a one-member judicial commission led by retired high court judge Justice JM Cunha to conduct an independent inquiry into the stampede. A separate magisterial inquiry is also underway. Last week, the state submitted a sealed cover status report on both inquiries before the division bench. The court on Tuesday said it will also consider whether the government can continue keeping the findings and interim reports confidential during the course of the proceedings.

Bills fans worry Hailee Steinfeld is a distraction as Josh Allen's Super Bowl chances are already crumbling
Amidst Josh Allen's marriage celebrations with Hailee Steinfeld, concerns arise within the Buffalo Bills' camp regarding their Super Bowl aspirations (Image via Beau society) While Josh Allen may be basking in newlywed joy after marrying actress Hailee Steinfeld , the mood in Buffalo's front office is less romantic and more strategic. As the Bills prepare for the 2025-26 season, concerns are mounting over whether Allen can lead the team deep into the playoffs — or if their roster gaps will cut the celebration short. Josh Allen's Super Bowl dreams under threat as Bills' wide receiver woes spark concern Despite an impressive 2024 season that included an MVP-worthy campaign and a 30.9 points-per-game average, experts warn the Bills are missing key elements that could derail another title run. Most notably, the absence of a dominant No. 1 wide receiver may prove costly following Stefon Diggs' departure. CBS Sports analyst Cody Benjamin didn't mince words: 'The absence of a bona fide No. 1 wide receiver plagues Allen, as he tries to carry Buffalo's offense.' Allen is undeniably elite, but expecting him to replicate last season's heroics without a true WR1 could be too much — even for him. Buffalo's efforts to patch the receiving hole include drafting Keon Coleman and signing Elijah Moore and Joshua Palmer. However, none have consistently delivered WR1 production in the NFL. The void Diggs leaves behind is not just statistical — it's emotional and strategic. Curtis Samuel could be a key figure, but expectations may be unrealistic Curtis Samuel, entering the second year of a three-year deal, is a name to watch. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Vietnam: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo After finishing last season strong with touchdowns in both the Wild Card and AFC Championship games, he's poised to make an impact — if he stays healthy. 'I feel good, you know, confident, feel fast and excited for this journey,' Samuel said. 'It's just all about being healthy, just getting in the rhythm.' He also noted his comfort in Joe Brady's offensive system, which he learned during their time with the Panthers. But as Benjamin points out, Samuel has 'never functioned as a true WR1,' and relying on him to become one could be setting the offense up for disappointment. Buffalo has also reshuffled its secondary, bringing in fresh faces through free agency and the draft. Yet, continuity and chemistry remain question marks on that side of the ball.

Dustin Johnson's golf struggles spark outrage as Paulina Gretzky praises father Wayne Gretzky in viral post (Image via Getty) Golf fans are talking again. Dustin Johnson, a big name in the sport, is having a rough stretch. Missing important cuts has raised red flags. Meanwhile, his wife, Paulina Gretzky , honoured her father, hockey great Wayne Gretzky, in a heartfelt social post. This family moment shines, even as Dustin battles form and tough odds. Paulina Gretzky's viral post for Wayne Gretzky fuels talk as Dustin Johnson battles golf struggles Dustin Johnson, aged 40, was once a top golf star with major wins like the U.S. Open in 2016 and the Masters in 2020. But lately, he has not had the same edge on the LIV Golf tour. In the 2025 season, he missed the cut at both the Masters and PGA Championship. Reports say he shot 10-over in just 36 holes at Oakmont, a venue where he had previous success. These results have fans and analysts worried. Golf is a sport of form and confidence, two things that now seem in short supply for Dustin. His swing speed has dropped, and errors are up. Sources within LIV Golf suggest that he may change his training or work with a new coach. But no official plan has been shared yet. Paulina Gretzky celebrates Wayne Gretzky with moving message Paulina Gretzky, Dustin Johnson's wife and daughter of legendary hockey player Wayne Gretzky, uploaded an Instagram homage to her father on Father's Day, June 16, 2025. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Paulina also disclosed a family narrative: Wayne first met Dustin at a pro‑am event in 2009. Wayne was the one who nudged Paulina to know Dustin. That recommendation led them to wed in 2022 and get married in 2013. Adding to their close family relationship, the pair has two boys. Wayne provided unity and support through his presence at events both on and off the golf course. Now as Dustin works to rebuild his game, many believe having Paulina and Wayne by his side could help him find his way again.
