The IPL had a moment to remember in the game between the Rajasthan Royals and the Gujarat Titans when a 14-year-old youngster, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, from Samastipur, Bihar, stole the show by smashing the second-fastest IPL century. In addition to making history with his 35-ball hundred, which included 11 sixes and seven boundaries, Vaibhav Suryavanshi helped the Rajasthan Royals end their losing skid by defeating the Gujarat Titans by eight wickets in a high-scoring match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

After this knock, Irfan Pathan invited Yusuf Pathan, his brother and a former all-rounder of the Rajasthan Royals, on his show '#SEEDHIBAT with Irfan Pathan'. When Irfan asked his brother if he had seen such a talented player at the age of 14 years, Vaibhav Suryavanshi said, “Aisa talent kahin nahi dekha, jo 14 saal ki umar mein is tarah se white ball cricket mein batting kare.’’
