14 old just scored the 2nd quickest 100 in the IPL. 100 off 35 balls. Last 7 deliveries went for 36. Barely believable

Amazing, potential to be one of the greats hitting such heights at this age.
Minging for England though, another superstar to deal with ffs.

Just shows how powderpuff that format of cricket is really. Let's see him do something similar in Test cricket.

I think it’s a bit naff, to drum down such an awesome achievement!

I think he’s maybe a bit older than 14 mind, but still an incredibly good young talent

He gave an interview a few years back where he said he was gonna be 14 at the end of that year
Bit odd
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.Now that comment does surprise me

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

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.
