Mumbai, April 29: After Rajasthan Royals' 14-year-old prodigy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, made history by becoming the youngest ever to score a century in both IPL and T20 cricket, Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka shared a heartwarming throwback photo of the 6-year-old Vaibhav cheering for his then team, Rising Pune Supergiant, in 2017. The teenager scripted history against Gujarat Titans with a 35-ball century - the fastest by an Indian player and the second-fastest ever in IPL. It was Suryavanshi's only third IPL match.
