Vaibhav Suryavanshi was the star of the show as Rajasthan Royals defeated Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2025 by 8 wickets and 27 balls to spare on Monday, April 28 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The 14-year-old sensation slammed a century of just 35 balls, as the whole cricketing community cheered for the young history maker. However, opposition captain Shubman Gill's comments on the youngster's innings after the match was not received well by former India star Ajay Jadeja.
“It was his day. His hitting was just tremendous, and he made full use of his day,” Gill said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Ajay Jadeja believed that Gill took a dig at Suryavanshi, saying that it was the 14-year-old's lucky day. In an interaction with Star Sports, Jadeja hit back at Gill by taking a subtle hint at the GT captain, without naming him.
“But a 14-year-old to believe in himself, the amount that he believes in himself, and to take it that far, even if it's, you know, one day like some player on television just said, oh, it was just his lucky day,” Jadeja said.
