The stunning moment had cricket legend Rahul Dravid \u201coff his wheelchair\u201d in celebration, as fans in Jaipur rose to their feet to applaud the youngster\u2019s extraordinary achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Chasing a daunting 210 against Gujarat Titans, Suryavanshi produced a fearless and electrifying innings. Earlier, he tore apart Ishant Sharma for 28 runs in a single over and smashed debutant Karim Janat for 30 runs, setting the tone for his onslaught.<\/p>\n<p>The landmark moment arrived in the 11th over when Rashid Khan bowled a fractionally short delivery on middle stump. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, on 94, showed no hesitation. He rocked back and pulled it over deep mid-wicket. Although the fielder leaped desperately, the ball just cleared him and landed over the ropes. The entire stadium erupted, and Suryavanshi removed his helmet to celebrate, his chubby cheeks lighting up the screen as fans witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime innings.<\/p>\n<p>It was described from the commentary box as, \u201cRahul Dravid is off his wheelchair! A 100 for the 14-year-old! Everyone in Jaipur who is nearby is standing up to applaud. What a knock this is. He has had his share of luck but take nothing away from this innings, this has been a cracker. GT have been shell-shocked to say the least. The second fastest ton ever in IPL history. He did not think twice that he was on 94 and facing Rashid Khan, yet went for a biggie.
