The cricket world is still reeling from 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi's stunning century in the Indian Premier League on Monday.
India legend Sachin Tendulkar has led the praise.
"Vaibhav's fearless approach, bat speed, picking the length early, and transferring the energy behind the ball was the recipe behind a fabulous innings," the former batter said. "Well played!"
Former England captain Jos Buttler, who was playing in the match for Rajasthan Royals' opponents Gujarat Titans, said: "Fair play youngster. That was incredible."
Yuvraj Singh, one of India's 2011 World Cup winners, said he was "proud to see the next generation shine".
"What were you doing at 14?!!" the all-rounder said.
"This kid is taking on the best bowlers in the world without blinking an eyelid! Vaibhav Suryavanshi - remember the name!"
India's Test and 50-over captain Rohit Sharma posted on Instagram to simply say "class", while T20 skipper Suryakumar Yadav said "witnessed this carnage of an innings by this youngster. Absolutely insane!"
