When Rajasthan Royals' 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi played a record-shattering innings in Jaipur, few could have anticipated the sheer dominance he would display. His blistering knock left Gujarat Titans completely outclassed, with even their captain Shubman Gill unable to contain the onslaught.

Reflecting on the performance, Gill acknowledged the youngster’s brilliance but appeared to attribute it partly to fortune. “It was his [lucky] day, you know? His hitting was just tremendous and I think he made full use of his day,” Gill remarked in a post-match interview with host broadcaster JioStar following Rajasthan’s emphatic eight-wicket victory.
