Vaibav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old cricket genius, has set an unprecedented record in the Indian Professional Cricket League (IPL).
Suryavanshi scored 100 RBIs in just 35 pitches in the match between the Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansing Stadium in Jaipur, India on the 28th (Korea time). This is the shortest 100 RBIs in IPL and the youngest (14 years old) 100 RBIs in the history of the T20 game.
After hitting his seventh six-run homer, Suryavanshi took off his helmet and raised his arms high. Home fans cheered in unison, while Rajasthan teammates celebrated with cheers and applause. Suryavanshi immediately put his helmet on again without performing a long ceremony. CNN reported that he only briefly touched the milestone.
On the day, Suryavanshi was out after scoring 101 points in 38 pitches. His batting was brilliant with 11 four-run shots and seven six-run shots. Rajasthan won the match by eight wickets, and Suryavanshi was named the Player of the Match by far. "I am very happy to have scored 100 points in the IPL, even in my third match," Suryavanshi said in a post-match interview. "I am thrilled that all the efforts over the past four to five months have paid off."
Rajasthan captain Riyan Parag also gave his accolades. "I was with him for two months, but I didn't expect such a performance in front of such a huge crowd and a strong Gujarat pitching staff," he said. "It is an amazing moment that cannot be expressed in words."
Earlier this season, Suryavanshi set a record of becoming the youngest person to debut in the IPL at the age of 14 years and 23 days. At the match against Lucknow Super Giants, he connected the first ball with six runs, which he made his debut on April 19, and the entire stadium was filled with cheers. On the same day, he scored 34 points after 20 pitches, and when he was withdrawn due to stump-out, he showed tears of regret.
Suryavanshi became the youngest player to win a contract at an IPL auction in November last year. After a fierce competition with Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan paid 11 million rupees (155.68 million won) to buy Suryavanshi. CNN reported that a 14-year-old boy is writing a new history in the middle of the IPL, the world's best cricket league.
Cricket is played in a circular or oval stadium. Batters can hit the ball from 360 degrees anywhere, and defenders must cover the entire stadium. In comparison, baseball is played inside a diamond-shaped field. The direction of hitting is limited, and points can be obtained only by turning the first base, second base, and third base home in order.
In cricket, a batter hits a ball and runs between two wickets. A player can accumulate points by reciprocating multiple times with a single hit, and if the ball crosses the field, he or she scores four points (passes the ground) or six points (passes through the air) at a time. In contrast, in baseball, a player must step on each base to score points. In the case of a home run, points are added as many as the number of runners.
The duration of the game is also quite different. Cricket runs from three hours (T20) to five days (test match) depending on format. Baseball generally lasts around three hours (based on the Major League Baseball). Cricket plays the opportunity of offense by "replacement once out," and baseball plays the rotation of offense and defense every inning.
Cricket has the status of a national sport centering on commonwealth countries such as India, Pakistan, Australia, and England. In particular, in India, cricket is so popular that it is called the "second religion." On the other hand, baseball is greatly loved in Japan, Korea, and some countries in Latin America, centering on the United States. Baseball has a strong popular and sporty atmosphere, and cricket has cultural characteristics that value formality and tradition.
India is a country where cricket is very popular. Cricket is not just a sport in India but a level of religion. The IPL is the world's wealthiest cricket league and features some of the best players from all over the world. These countries include Pakistan, Australia, England, the birthplace of cricket, Bangladesh, South Africa, which is as popular as rugby, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand, the winner of the 1996 Cricket World Cup. 안전놀이터
