14-Year-Old RR Star Vaibhav Suryavanshi Gives Big Teaser After Stunning IPL Debut Season: "Next Year..."
Having left an indelible mark in his debut season itself, 14-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi says he will look to do two times better for his team Rajasthan Royals in next year's Indian Premier League. Suryavanshi created the record for the fastest century for any Indian in terms of balls faced (35) when he cracked 101 off only 38 balls with seven fours and 11 sixes against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur in April. The whirlwind knock helped Suryavanshi not only enter his name in record books for the second fastest century ever in IPL, he also become the youngest T20 centurion in men's T20 cricket at 14 years and 32 days. "Playing in the IPL is like a dream for everyone and I got a lot of positives from my first season and I also learnt a lot in terms of what I can do for the team in the next season," Suryavanshi said in a video shared by IPL's official website. Even as the Royals endured a forgettable campaign, the left-handed Suryavanshi tasted success on personal front as he was given the IPL Super Striker of the Season award after the conclusion of the final on Tuesday. "Next year, I will work on areas where I made mistakes and try to do much better for the team," he said. Talking about his learnings from the maiden season, Suryavanshi said, "My learning is that I have to do two times better than what I have done so that my team also plays in the final next year and how much I can contribute to my team, I will focus on that." Given his exploits, Suryavanshi was also named in the India Under-19 squad for a multi-format tour of England along with Mumbai's Ayush Mhatre, who made a successful debut for Chennai Super Kings. "It is a new tournament. I am going to the UK for the first time so it will be a new experience. I will experience how the game goes on there," Suryavanshi said. "Ayush Mhatre, who played for Chennai Super Kings this time, is our captain. The preparations are going well and it will be a good experience of playing in England and will try to return with the trophy," he added. Listen to the latest songs, only on

Delhi Capitals, despite a strong start under Axar Patel, lost their grip dramatically. Past champions Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and Kolkata Knight Riders failed to make a significant impact, while Sunrisers Hyderabad faltered throughout the season. This year's league stage, which unfolded over a span of 67 days including a 10-day intermission, comprised 70 fixtures packed with extraordinary performances and disheartening the playoffs draw near, here's a detailed look back at the season so far:When Rajasthan Royals secured Vaibhav Suryavanshi at the December mega auction, he was just 13. Fast forward to May, the now-14-year-old smashed the fastest IPL century by an Indian — and the tournament's second quickest ever — off just 35 deliveries against Gujarat elegant shot-making and fearless demeanor under the spotlight drew praise from legends of the Sharma, India's T20I opener, was among the elite century-makers this season, joined by Punjab Kings' uncapped talent Priyansh Arya, who dismantled a struggling CSK with a maiden hundred. Prabhsimran Singh showcased his abilities, and Ayush Mhatre delivered glimpses of brilliance that offered CSK brief off a runner-up finish, SRH boasted one of the most formidable batting rosters this season, but their aggressive tactics backfired kicked off their campaign by notching 286/6 — the second highest total in IPL history — against RR and wrapped up with 278/3 against KKR, the third highest in between those highs, their rigid approach at the crease became their downfall. Nitish Kumar Reddy underwhelmed, and their failure to include a top-quality powerplay spinner compounded their age-old mantra that change is inevitable rang truer than ever for CSK, who struggled after abandoning their long-standing strategy of sticking with experienced hands like MS Dhoni while sidelining younger 17-year-old Mumbai sensation Ayush Mhatre emerged as a surprise package up top, while South African star Dewald Brevis lit up the final stages of the league. Afghan youngster Noor Ahmad, aged 20, turned out to be their most dependable spinner, outperforming veterans like R Ashwin and Ravindra left-handed batter demonstrated that being methodical yet aggressive can yield tremendous results, accumulating over 670 runs to lead the season's run charts and earning a spot in India's Test squad for the England being retired out in 2023 for a sluggish knock to becoming one of 2025's standout performers, Gujarat Titans' Sai Sudharsan proved that his moment had IPL season, another slow start for Mumbai Indians, who lost four of their first five matches. Yet, under Hardik Pandya's leadership, they roared back with six straight wins to emerge as strong Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma had inconsistent runs, Suryakumar Yadav displayed exceptional form, reaffirming his class. Jasprit Bumrah's haul of 17 wickets in 10 games should send a strong warning to all over Sanju Samson's form and fitness were only the beginning for RR, as they concluded their season second from bottom, only ahead of seasoned campaigners like Jos Buttler, Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Trent Boult threw their team balance off-kilter, more severely than perhaps off the tournament with nearly flawless performances, DC found themselves leading the table after winning five of their first six matches. However, they couldn't sustain that wheels came off in the second half, where they managed just three victories in their next eight encounters, ending with a significant drop in Rahane battled gamely in a largely underwhelming campaign for KKR, whose marquee signing and deputy captain Venkatesh Iyer struggled to make an impact. The defending champions lost five of their first eight games, effectively dashing their hopes early Super Giants found themselves with five wins in eight games, powered primarily by their top-order efforts, positioning them as potential repeated failures in the middle order, Rishabh Pant's extended poor form, and a one-dimensional bowling attack ensured another year without playoff qualification. Still, the likes of Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, and Aiden Markram stood out amid Digvesh Rathi's flashier Iyer's impressive form over the past year continued, cementing his role as the backbone of Punjab Kings' revival. His leadership proved invaluable as the team exceeded no-nonsense coach Ricky Ponting in charge, PBKS emerged as serious contenders. Their spirited defense of a meager 111 against KKR was a testament to their newfound the third consecutive year, Shubman Gill notched up at least 400 runs, continuing his impressive run with Gujarat Titans. This season, he not only performed consistently but also guided his side through a shaky batting lineup and Rashid Khan's dip in form, Gill's leadership kept GT firmly in contention throughout the league stage.
