Fourteen-year-old batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi experienced the lows of elite sport just three days after his record-breaking century as he was dismissed for a two-ball duck in the Indian Premier League.
The prodigious talent became the youngest player to hit a men’s T20 century in Monday’s victory over Gujarat Titans, but in his following outing he lobbed a catch to Will Jacks inside the first over of Rajasthan Royals’ chase.
His dismissal was just the start of his side’s woes, as Mumbai Indians’ bowlers tore through the Rajasthan line-up, bowling them out for 117 in the 17th over to win by 100 runs.
The win takes Mumbai top of the table, with seven wins and four defeats, while Rajasthan remain in eighth having won three and lost eight.
