14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Smashes IPL Record with Fastest Century
In a remarkable display of talent, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi of Rajasthan Royals made history by scoring the fastest century in IPL history. Facing Gujarat Titans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Suryavanshi achieved the milestone in just 35 balls, surpassing the previous record held by Yusuf Pathan.
Suryavanshi’s innings included 11 sixes and 7 fours, amassing 101 runs off 38 balls. His explosive performance propelled Rajasthan Royals to an eight-wicket victory, chasing down a target of 210 runs in just 15.5 overs. He shared a 166-run opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal, who contributed 70 runs.
This achievement not only marks the fastest century in IPL history but also establishes Suryavanshi as the youngest centurion in men’s T20 cricket. His previous records include the fastest Under-19 Test century by an Indian and a triple century in the Ranji Trophy at age 12.
Suryavanshi’s meteoric rise has drawn comparisons to cricketing legends and has placed him under the spotlight as a future star of Indian cricket.
