Cricket fans worldwide witnessed a historic spectacle in IPL 2025 as 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi carved his name into the record books with a blistering century that stunned both spectators and analysts. Playing for Rajasthan Royals, the teen sensation became the youngest player to have scored a century in IPL history, and the quickest Indian player ever to have done it in T20 cricket.
35-Ball Century Leaves the Cricket World in Awe
Confronting Gujarat Titans in a high-adrenaline pursuit of 210 runs, Suryavanshi flipped the game on its head with an explosive batting performance. He reached his century in just 35 deliveries, marking:
The fastest Indian century in IPL history
The second-quickest century overall in the history of the tournament
The fastest IPL hundred was scored by Chris Gayle, who achieved the feat in 30 balls for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors in IPL 2013.
Yusuf Pathan’s Longstanding Record Broken
Before Suryavanshi’s record-breaking knock, the fastest IPL century by an Indian was held by Yusuf Pathan, who had scored a ton off 37 balls in 2010 while playing for Rajasthan Royals against Mumbai Indians. That record stood for 15 years—until the teenage sensation shattered it in style.
Match-Winning Partnership and Lightning-Fast Fifty
Suryavanshi’s fireworks were well supported by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who played a crucial knock of 70 runs off 40 balls, helping Rajasthan Royals successfully chase down the daunting target in just 15.5 overs. Together, they formed a dynamic partnership that overwhelmed the Titans’ bowling attack.
Suryavanshi also added another feather to his cap by scoring a 50 off just 17 deliveries, claiming the title of fastest half-century in IPL 2025.
Titans Put Up a Strong Fight with Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler
Earlier in the match, Gujarat Titans posted an impressive 209/4 in 20 overs, led by a classy 84-run innings by Shubman Gill. He was ably supported by Jos Buttler, who fired a quick 50 off 26 balls, setting up what seemed like a match-winning total—until Suryavanshi’s magical innings rewrote the script.
A Star is Born
With this record-breaking performance, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has emerged as a name to reckon with in the cricketing fraternity. At only 14 years of age, his aggressive strokeplay and record-breaking feat have already established him as a standout IPL 2025 star. As the season goes on, fans and franchises will be closely monitoring the young sensation.
