When talent speaks, calling it “luck” doesn’t sit well with legends… and Ajay Jadeja made sure Shubman Gill heard that loud and clear.

The 47th match of IPL 2025 in Jaipur wasn’t just another fixture—it was Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s breakout moment. The 14-year-old Rajasthan Royals opener blew Gujarat Titans away with a blistering 101 off 38 balls, making a mockery of even the most experienced bowlers. But instead of giving full credit, GT captain Shubman Gill raised eyebrows post-match with a statement that didn’t sit well with everyone.

Gill’s Comment That Sparked the Fire

After the one-sided 8-wicket defeat, Gill said,

“Vaibhav had a lucky day. The shots he was playing were amazing, but he just capitalized on his day.”

That was enough to spark a reaction from Ajay Jadeja, who didn’t mince words.

Jadeja Hits Back Hard

The former Indian cricketer slammed Gill for downplaying Suryavanshi’s efforts:

“You don’t call that kind of batting ‘luck’. The boy played proper cricketing shots across the ground. His talent and skill were on full display. Calling it luck is disrespectful to the hard work and ability he showed.”

Vaibhav’s Knock Was No Fluke

Suryavanshi wasn’t just swinging blindly—he was dismantling GT’s top pacers with precision. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Ishant Sharma were all sent to the boundary line repeatedly. He brought up his fifty in just 17 balls and his century in 35—all while maintaining a strike rate near 270.

Together with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav stitched a 166-run opening stand in just 71 balls, flattening Gujarat before they even realized what hit them.

Vaibhav’s performance wasn’t about “luck”—it was about a 14-year-old rewriting the rules of the IPL with raw power, timing, and fearless intent.
