Why didn’t Sanju Samson celebrate Vaibhav Suryavanshi scoring a 35-ball century?

Vaibhav Suryavanshi presented a super show with the bat at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, assisted RR in chasing the target of 210 runs in 15.5 overs, and in winning the do-or-die match by 8 wickets. The victory against GT in Jaipur assisted RR in moving to eighth spot in the points table.

14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi on April 28 made history by hitting the quickest century in IPL history for an Indian batsman. The left-handed batsman from Bihar reached 100 off just 35 balls in the IPL 2025 match between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

His innings have displayed proper aggression and power-hitting. Suryavanshi hit seven boundaries and eleven over boundaries with a strike rate of 265. He shattered Yusuf Pathan’s record. In the Rajasthan Royals-Mumbai Indians IPL encounter at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on March 13, 2010, Pathan had made a century off 37 balls for the first edition champions.

Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match?

Vaibhav was finally sent back for 101 off 38 balls by Prasidh Krishna in the 12th over. But he had already done a lot of damage, adding 166 runs – the highest opening stand for Rajasthan in IPL history.

Why Sanju Samson didn’t celebrate Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Century

There has been some misinformation in online videos about Sanju Samson’s response to Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s century in the recent game against GT. One specific video clip went viral, depicting Sanju as seemingly indifferent or unresponsive when Suryavanshi achieved his hundred.

But let’s make one important correction: the video was taken after Suryavanshi got dismissed by Prasidh Krishna’s delivery, not at the time of his hundred celebration. Adding to the intriguing developments, there are rumors that Suryavanshi used Sanju Samson’s bat to achieve his century.

Sanju Samson Injury Update

Captain Sanju Samson is expected to miss RR’s upcoming IPL 2025 match against the Mumbai Indians (MI) to be held on May 1 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

Sanju Samson injured his abdomen while playing in RR’s Super-Over loss against Delhi Capitals on April 16. The injury has barred him from all matches since that time. Therefore, due to this, Samson missed the next matches played by RR against Lucknow Super Giants, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and then Gujarat Titans.

Sanju Samson is recovering from his injury to the abdomen, and the last call will be made on April 30, as a fitness test is to be done to check if he is match-fit or not.
