"Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a special talent! 3-5 years from now, we will see his fan accounts. All the age trolls don't matter — whether 14 or 16 — but his 100(35) knock today was something else. What a performance, he absolutely owned GT," commented a fan.

"BREAKING: Only 14 years old and already rewriting the rules! Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashes a lightning-fast century off just 35 balls — featuring 7 boundaries and a jaw-dropping 11 sixes! Pure domination. Pure madness. Remember the name," remarked another.

His wonderful knock came to an end in the 12th over. Pacer Prasidh Krishna dismissed the swashbuckling batter with a fiery yorker.
