Seems to be some doubt about his real age, he comes from one of the poorer states in India so record keeping isn't going to be great. Even if he is around 18 rather than 14 he still looks a talent.
 
whey i thought under 15's had to retire a 50 :D


This is the age group the bairn plays and there are some decent youngsters about but that is unbelievable

Now that comment does surprise me😀. Obviously he's an exciting talent but surely it's fair comment to question the standard of bowling or,more specifically,the ridiculous imbalance between batting and bowling when a comparative novice can attain such a rapid scoring rate for a lengthy period.
Admittedly, many enjoy it but how can it be a contest of skill with such a disparity between bat and ball?

Think they is time and place for that debate which has been done many times before and no doubt will be again.

Don’t think this particular thread that time.

I think it the wrong time to do it on this thread rather than just stand back in amazement and say well done to the young lad for amazing achievement.

Of all the worlds greatest white ball cricketers in the same competition in same batting friendly conditions only one has scored a century faster
And this guy still school age!!!

And you're fully entitled to hold that view. As always with youngsters you need to temper their achievements with caution to ensure they stay grounded. In the context of what is essentially carnival cricket it was an outstanding achievement which has probably put him on the pathway to being a millionaire.Obscene the money that's thrown around in IPL and this event really highlights it.

Well that’s it, its all relative, fully accepting the view that the competition is heavily weighted in the batsman’s favour.

To score the second fastest 100 of 38 balls

in this particular competition that has over the years had the worlds greatest white ball batsman in it is simply awesome at his age

What he may or may not do in the future or perform in other forms of the game should not diminish his achievement at all

Deserves nothing but praise simple as that

Nobody's denying that he should be commended.. Mind whether he remains of school age is questionable. As is what is school age in his homeland. It's the fact that he can acquire riches at such a young age that concerns me- and I'd apply that in any profession. That's why one shouldn't become euphoric in such situations imo.
