Vaibhav Suryavanshi sets IPL record with fastest century at 14

Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi delivered a historic performance for the Rajasthan Royals, scoring a record-breaking 101 off just 38 balls against the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. His century, achieved in only 35 balls, set a new mark for the fastest IPL ton by an Indian and made him the youngest-ever player to score a T20 century. The knock included 11 sixes and 7 boundaries, and helped Rajasthan successfully chase a 210-run target in just 15.5 overs. Suryavanshi’s fearless hitting and maturity stunned the cricketing world, with his achievements celebrated by teammates and head coach Rahul Dravid. The young prodigy’s rise is rooted in a humble background, with significant sacrifices from his family, and he has already made a mark in domestic cricket before his IPL breakthrough. His debut season has shattered multiple records, including most sixes in an IPL innings by a teenager and fewest innings by an Indian to score an IPL ton.
