Jaipur, 25 April. Indian cricket’s teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored the third fastest century in IPL history (103 runs, 37 balls, 12 sixes, five fours) in the second match of the double double in the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL-19) on Saturday. But their efforts went in vain and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) got the support of Ishan Kishan (74 runs, 31 balls, three sixes, 11 fours) and Abhishek Sharma (57 runs, 29 balls, one six, 11 fours) and defeated the host Rajasthan Royals (RR) by five wickets with nine balls to spare, reaching the third position in the points table.

To be honest, there were many similarities in both the matches of the day. For example, there was a stormy rain of runs in both the matches and a century was also seen in the first innings of these matches. But both times the teams chasing the target of more than 225 runs came out of the field with impressive victories.

In the first match of the day played at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, Delhi Capitals scored the highest score of the season (2-264) due to KL Rahul’s record-breaking century, while Punjab Kings crossed that score and achieved an impressive victory by scoring 265 runs for four wickets. After that, a similar scene was seen in Jaipur, the capital of Delhi’s neighboring state Rajasthan, when Vaibhav’s bravery was wasted by Abhishek and Kishan.
Partnership of 112 runs between Suryavanshi and Dhruv Jurel
Rajasthan Royals, forced to bat first at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, scored a strong score of 228 runs for six wickets with Suryavanshi’s century and his 112-run partnership with Dhruv Jurel (51 runs, 35 balls, one six, eight fours) on the second wicket.

Hyderabad’s second consecutive win over Rajasthan in the current season
The notable aspect of the match was that after winning the toss, the Hyderabad team came to bowl first and Pat Cummins, who had returned after recovery, took over the command from Ishan Kishan. With this, this was Hyderabad’s second consecutive win over Rajasthan in the current season. In the meeting between these two teams on April 13 in Hyderabad, SRH had won by 57 runs.
Now the Hyderabadi team has secured 10 points from its fourth consecutive and fifth overall win in eight matches and has moved itself to the third position. This was Rajasthan’s third defeat in eight matches and despite 10 points, it is in fourth place due to weak net run rate.
score card
If we look at SRH’s innings, it got a shock in the beginning, when Travis Head was out after scoring just six runs. But after this, Abhishek and Kishan made a century partnership and put the team in a strong position. Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Reddy made important contributions in the middle order. In the end the lower order batsmen achieved the target easily.
Suryavanshi scored a fifty in 15 balls and a century in 36 balls.
Earlier, the innings of Rajasthan Royals was started by Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal (10 runs, eight balls, two fours). However, Ishan Malinga (2-38) returned Yashasvi to a total of 40 in the third over. But Vaibhav batted with explosive style and completed his half-century in just 15 balls and century in 36 balls. This was the third fastest century in IPL history. The fastest century till date (off 30 balls) is in the name of Chris Gayle, who scored against Pune Warriors in 2013. Suryavanshi had scored a century in 35 balls against Gujarat Titans last year.
So nice, he had to do it TWICE!
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi enters the elite list once again

The century partnership between these two was broken by Nitish Kumar Reddy in the 13th over when he returned Jurel, while Vaibhav also became the victim of Shakib Hussain in the very next over immediately after the century. Got out. After these two, only Donovan Ferreira (33 runs, 16 balls, three sixes, three fours) could show some hand. At present, despite the strong score, Rajasthan’s bowling could not stand against the Hyderabad batsmen and the team had to face defeat.
