Rahul Dravid’s Emotional Gesture for Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s IPL Century Goes Viral

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the young opener of Rajasthan Royals, delivered a devastating batting performance during the match against Gujarat Titans held at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday. The 14-year-old prodigy relentlessly attacked the Gujarat bowlers, including the experienced Ishant Sharma.

Justifying the immense trust placed in him by the team management, Vaibhav Suryavanshi stunned the opposing side with a stormy innings. He reached his century in just 35 balls, igniting the stadium with excitement. As soon as Vaibhav completed his century, the entire stadium rose to their feet, giving him a standing ovation.

Among those who stood up to applaud was Rajasthan Royals’ head coach Rahul Dravid. Overcoming his injury, Dravid rose from his wheelchair to personally congratulate the young player. Despite his physical challenges, Rahul Dravid joined the players and fans in giving a standing ovation. Videos capturing this emotional moment are now going viral on social media.

It is well known that Rahul Dravid has spent most of this season in a wheelchair. However, witnessing Vaibhav Suryavanshi record his maiden century in the IPL, the legendary Indian cricketer stood up, despite struggling to balance himself, to honor the young star. A few days prior to the season, Rahul Dravid had sustained an injury while playing cricket, which led to him attending Rajasthan Royals' matches in a wheelchair.
