He achieved this century at the age of 14, becoming the youngest player to score a century in the IPL. Furthermore, he completed his century in 35 balls, setting a new record for the fastest century by an Indian player. This performance not only brought him into the limelight but also increased excitement about the future of Indian cricket.
