Cricket continues to be a sport that unites India, and the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is no exception. Amidst the star-studded lineups and dramatic finishes, a new name has captured national attention—Vaibhav Suryavanshi. At just 14 years old, the young prodigy has not only become the youngest player to feature in an IPL match, but also the youngest ever to score a century in the tournament’s history.
His stellar performance for the Rajasthan Royals against the Gujarat Titans turned heads across the cricketing world. In a breathtaking display of talent and confidence, Vaibhav smashed a century in just 35 balls, earning him the distinction of scoring the second-fastest century in IPL history—a record that still belongs to Chris Gayle, who scored his in just 30 balls.
Following the Royals’ emphatic victory at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Vaibhav was presented with a brand-new Mercedes-Benz by none other than Ranjit Barthakur, the Executive Chairman of Royal Multisport Pvt. Ltd., the franchise owner of Rajasthan Royals. The gesture, caught on camera, quickly went viral, showing a beaming Vaibhav holding the keys to his new luxury car, standing proudly next to Barthakur.
An Unforgettable Match
The match was nothing short of a thriller. Gujarat Titans had posted a formidable total of 209 runs in their 20 overs, seemingly setting the stage for a tough chase. However, led by the young Suryavanshi, Rajasthan Royals responded with stunning aggression. They chased down the target in just 15.5 overs, scoring 212, thanks largely to Vaibhav’s explosive batting at the top. His confidence, timing, and ability to handle experienced bowlers at such a young age left fans and analysts alike in awe.
What Do We Know About the Car?
While the images of the car handover have been widely shared on social media, the exact model of the Mercedes-Benz remains unclear. Only the keys are visible in the photographs, leaving fans speculating. Given the popularity of luxury SUVs in the market and among cricketers, many believe the car might be a Mercedes SUV, possibly a GLE or GLS model. However, some also speculate it could be a high-end sedan, given the prestige associated with gifting such vehicles.
There is also some ambiguity around whether the vehicle is a brand-new purchase or a personal car of Barthakur’s that he chose to gift out of sheer admiration for Vaibhav’s innings. Regardless, the symbolic nature of the gift highlights just how momentous Vaibhav’s achievement is for the franchise.
Rajasthan Royals’ Rocky Journey So Far
While Vaibhav’s brilliance has brought temporary cheer to the Royals’ camp, the team has had a tough season overall. With 10 matches played, they have only managed 3 wins, placing them eighth on the IPL points table with 6 points. To keep their playoff hopes alive, they must win all four of their remaining matches—a tough challenge given the stiff competition.
Even if they do win all remaining games and reach 14 points, their net run rate and the performances of other franchises will play a crucial role in determining their fate. One more loss could mean elimination from playoff contention.
A Star in the Making
For now, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has given Rajasthan Royals a glimmer of hope and cricket fans across India a new hero to root for. At just 14, his fearless knock has not only earned him a place in the record books but also the admiration of fans, teammates, and cricket legends alike.
With the league still wide open, all eyes will be on the Royals and their young superstar as they aim for a miraculous turnaround in the remaining matches of IPL 2025.Rajasthan Royals Owner Gifts Vaibhav Suryavanshi a Mercedes-Benz After IPL Century
