Srinagar: Rajasthan Royals’ 14-year-old wonderkid Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed the fastest-ever IPL century off just 35 balls, also becoming the youngest-ever player to hit a T20 century.
Suryavanshi also slammed the fastest fifty of IPL 2025, getting there in just 17 balls.
Playing for Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL 2025, Suryavanshi smashed a blistering hundred off just 35 balls against Gujarat Titans (GT) in only his third professional match.
His explosive innings also earned him the distinction of recording the second-fastest century in IPL history, just behind Chris Gayle’s 30-ball hundred for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Pune Warriors back in 2013.
In addition, Suryavanshi has now become the second-youngest player ever to score a century in any form of representative cricket, further cementing his status as one of the most exciting young talents to watch.
