Jos Buttler has hailed 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi for his extraordinary innings in the IPL, describing it as both "inspiring and deflating" for established players. Suryavanshi's explosive 35-ball century, featuring eleven sixes, came against the Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

Buttler, who witnessed the innings firsthand, drew comparisons between the young prodigy and cricketing legends like Brian Lara and Yuvraj Singh. He emphasized the maturity and composure Suryavanshi displayed, especially in his performance against Chennai, which belied his tender age.

Reflecting on the knock, Buttler remarked, "It’s inspiring and deflating at the same time. This guy’s 20 years younger than me and he's just smashing us all around the park." This statement underscores the impact Suryavanshi’s performance had on seasoned professionals, highlighting the arrival of a new talent in the cricketing world.

Suryavanshi’s innings not only showcased his raw power but also his ability to handle pressure and play with a maturity beyond his years, signaling a promising future. Buttler’s praise adds significant weight to the young batter’s rising reputation in the IPL circuit.
