Record-breaking ton by 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi made headlines by becoming the youngest player to score a century in T20 cricket. The Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener stunned the cricketing world by smashing a 38-ball 101 against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Jaipur on Monday. Suryavanshi’s century came off just 35 balls, making it the fastest ton by an Indian in IPL history, and the second-fastest overall, behind Chris Gayle’s 30-ball ton for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) against Pune Warriors India in 2013. The Bihar southpaw's innings included 11 towering sixes off experienced Indian pacers Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Siraj, spinner Washington Sundar and Afghanistan fast bowler Karim Janat. He also smashed 30 runs off Janat — the most in an over in this edition of the IPL. His blistering knock helped RR chase GT’s 209-4 in just 15.5 overs.

Second IPL hat-trick for Yuzvendra Chahal
Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal delivered a magical performance against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Wednesday, claiming four wickets in an over, including a hat-trick. His second IPL hat-trick helped Punjab Kings (PBKS) secure a four-wicket win. Chahal, who went wicketless in his first two overs
(0-23), returned to bowl the penultimate over. The 34-year-old was put under pressure after conceding a six to CSK skipper MS Dhoni, but the veteran leg-spinner bounced back by having Dhoni caught at long-off. His hat-trick included the wickets of Deepak Hooda, Impact Substitute Anshul Kamboj and Noor Ahmad. Chahal’s 4-32 ensured CSK collapsed to 190 after they looked set to easily go past 200. Overall, Chahal is the third player to claim two or more hat-tricks in the IPL after former leggie Amit Mishra (3) and former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh (2).
