The Story of 15-Year-Old Who Broke Indian Cricket

At 15, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hit a 35-ball IPL hundred and became the youngest centurion in men's T20 history. This documentary tells the story behind those 35 balls: the 600 a day that came before them, and what they cost one family in Bihar. From the nets in Patna to a ₹1.1 crore auction bid in Jeddah, the Orange Cap, an India cap at 15, and a world-record powerplay in Wellington.

He got his first bat on his fourth birthday. His father built nets at home, drove him 200 km every other day to Manish Ojha's academy in Patna, and sold land to keep paying for it. His mother woke at 3 a.m. to cook before they left. The film follows his Ranji Trophy debut at 12, the 58-ball youth Test hundred against Australia, the age row, the Rajasthan Royals trial and auction, his IPL debut at 14 years and 23 days, the 35-ball hundred against Gujarat Titans, Rahul Dravid's warning, 175 in the Under-19 World Cup final, 72 sixes and the Orange Cap, his India debut at Old Trafford at 15 years and 99 days, and the night in Wellington when India made 118 without loss in the powerplay.
