Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 13-year-old friend smashes 22 sixes in unbeaten 327 off 134 balls

Now, a friend of Vaibhav Suryavanshi registered an unbeaten 327 in a 30-over game, facing 134 balls. Ayan Raj, friend of Vaibhav and only 13 years old, shattered all the numbers when he chose to deal only with 4s and 6s. Within the 327-run innings, he got 296 through the big hits. During this humongous score, Raj smashed 22 sixes and 41 fours.

Throughout the innings, the budding talent played most of the deliveries and grabbed the best possible outcome. He was playing for Sanskriti Cricket Academy and heavily inspired by his friend Vaibhav's heroics. The way Vaibhav announced his arrival in the Indian Premier League was unthinkable.

The 14-year-old batter became the fastest Indian batter in the history of the tournament to score a century. Ayan Raj has been immensely inspired by the doings of Vaibhav, and he also wants to make his mark like the Rajasthan batter. "Every time I talk to Vaibhav bhai, I get a special feeling. We used to play together when we were younger. Today, he has made a big name for himself, and I’m also following in his footsteps," Raj said to the media.

One after another young boys creating headlines 

Raj's father was also a cricketer and wanted to play for India as well. So, he is now dreaming through his boy. Like his father, the 13-year-old also wants to represent India in the future. 

Cricket fans are still wondering how Suryavanshi, at his age, managed to play with such intensity. In seven innings, he scored 252 runs at an average of 36 and a 206.55 strike rate. By playing only seven games, he became RR's fifth-highest run-scorer of IPL 2025.
