What were you doing when you were 14? Well, it was 28th April 2025, and a 14-year-old wonderkid took his bat and smashed bowlers all over the park, stamping his name in the IPL history books. That’s right — fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, playing for Rajasthan Royals, blasted a 35-ball century, keeping Rajasthan calm in their playoff race.
Chasing 210 for victory at Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Stadium against Gujarat Titans, RR reached the target in just 15.5 overs, finishing at 212/2. With this, they became the fastest team to chase down a 200+ score in IPL history, all thanks to this cricketing prodigy. But what really caught everyone’s attention wasn’t just the century, but his age. Just 14!
Former India player Yuvraj Singh posted a light-hearted tweet:
“What were you doing at 14?!! This kid is taking on the best bowlers in the world without blinking an eyelid! Vaibhav Suryavanshi, remember the name! Playing with a fearless attitude. Proud to see the next generation shine!”
And with that, the internet exploded. A meme fest came, with fans either answering Yuvraj’s question or creating hilarious posts about their own 14-year-old selves. Take a look at some of the funniest memes, they’re still the talk of the town!
Hailing from Samastipur, Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s cricketing journey began at just four years old, when his father noticed his early passion and built a small playing area in their backyard. By the age of nine, he had joined a local cricket academy, laying the foundation for what would become a remarkable rise in Indian cricket.
Vaibhav made headlines at 12 when he debuted for Bihar in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy, scoring 400 runs in just five matches. But his breakout moment came during a youth Test match against Australia in Chennai, where he represented India U-19 and hammered a 62-ball 104 — a knock that grabbed national attention. This stellar performance earned him a spot in the IPL 2025 mega auction, where he was picked up by the inaugural champions, Rajasthan Royals.
