This kid is confronting the finest bowlers of the globe!" Kris Srikkanth described it as the "phenom rise," and Yusuf Pathan, whose record had been shattered, felicitated the teenager sensation.

 

Inside the Royals camp, coach Rahul Dravid and batting coach Vikram Rathour lauded Suryavanshi’s composure and talent. The teenager, unfazed by the spotlight, credited his preparation and partner Yashasvi Jaiswal for his success.

 

Suryavanshi’s historic feat has ignited excitement across India, with cricket fans and legends alike declaring, “Remember the name!” as a new era in Indian cricket begins.
