Formula 1 championship leader Oscar Piastri has extended heartfelt praise to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old cricket sensation who stunned the sporting world with a blistering century in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL). The young cricketer’s remarkable performance caught the attention of athletes and fans globally — and Piastri was quick to acknowledge it.
Vaibhav, playing for Rajasthan Royals, smashed an astonishing 101 runs off just 38 balls against Gujarat Titans. His innings, filled with powerful strokes and fearless confidence, featured 11 sixes and 7 fours, and set a new record for the youngest centurion in both IPL and T20 cricket history.
The performance sent ripples across the cricketing community, but it also impressed figures outside the sport. Oscar Piastri, currently at the top of the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship standings, shared his admiration through a public statement, describing Vaibhav’s innings as “unreal” and “the kind of passion and composure you rarely see — even in seasoned professionals.”
This gesture of admiration highlights a unique moment of cross-sport respect — two young athletes, both rewriting history in their fields, recognizing each other’s brilliance. Piastri, known for his calm mindset and technical precision on the racetrack, seemed genuinely inspired by Vaibhav’s fearlessness and natural talent on the cricket pitch.
Meanwhile, Vaibhav has become a household name overnight. His century — achieved in just 35 balls — not only led Rajasthan Royals to a commanding victory but also earned him accolades from cricketing greats, teammates, and sports icons across disciplines.
As the 2025 IPL season and Formula 1 calendar continue to unfold, this unexpected but heartwarming connection between cricket and motorsport stands as a powerful reminder of how talent, grit, and dedication transcend boundaries.
