The southpaw smashed the second-fastest IPL hundred off just 35 balls against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Monday, April 28, and gave the billions of Indian fans reason to rejoice and celebrate. Following the 14-year-old's sparkling hundred, Bollywood stars like Vicky Kaushal, Arjun Kapoor, and Preity Zinta took to social media to celebrate his blazing hundred.
Zinta, who is also the co-owner of Punjab Kings (PBKS) took to X and said, "Wow!!! What an incredible talent. Such a thrill to watch a stunning 35-ball century by this 14-year-old. This year, IPL is lit! The future of Indian cricket is bright. #Century #IPL2025 #VaibhavSuryavanshi."

Meanwhile, Arjun Kapoor was left speechless by Suryavanshi's assault against GT bowlers. The actor took to Instagram story, "Take a bow, young man!!! Unreal!!! A 14-year-old living the dream Vaibhav Suryavanshi."
