“It’s inspiring and deflating at the same time” – Jos Buttler on Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s 35-ball ton vs GT in IPL 2025

Former England captain Jos Buttler recently expressed his surprise as Vaibhav Suryavanshi slammed a 35-ball century against his IPL franchise, GT, in IPL 2025. The wicketkeeper-batter told legendary English pacer Stuart Broad in a podcast (via Mint):

“It’s inspiring and deflating at the same time. So, this guy is 20 years younger than me and he's just smashing us around the park.”

“Our bowling attack consists of Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Rashid Khan…scale of the sixes, they were not just going over, but they were big sixes. 35-ball hundred, it was outrageous. I think after he had hit five or six sixes, he is not scared of us. I was thinking, is this amazing or is this the end of my career?” Buttler added.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will next be seen in action against England U-19 in the fourth youth ODI at Worcester on Saturday, July 5.
