Parents, relatives ecstatic as Vaibhav Suryavanshi sets record for youngest to score IPL century

Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest centurion in men’s Twenty20 cricket on April 28, 2025, as he guided Rajasthan Royals to an eight-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in an Indian Premier League match in Jaipur.

Suryavanshi reached his maiden century in just 35 balls, to register the second-fastest century in IPL history, while combining with Yashasvi Jaiswal in a 166-run opening partnership.

The left-handed batter smashed 11 sixes and seven fours in his stunning onslaught against Gujarat Titans' potent bowling attack

Suryavanshi’s century was also the quickest by an Indian in the IPL, bettering Yusuf Pathan’s 37-ball effort for Rajasthan against the Mumbai Indians in 2010.

The record of fastest century in IPL belongs to former West Indies batter Chris Gayle, who had brought up his triple figure mark in 30 balls for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

His parents and relatives are ecstatic. Sanjeev Suryavanshi, Vaibhav's father, said that they are extremely proud of his achievement.

Vaibhav's coach Manish Ojha believes that the 14-year-old could soon break into India's T20 team, in just a couple of years.

Former cricketer S. Sreesanth believes that Suryavanshi "is one of the best youngsters". He said it is "important for players from the interiors of India to come and perform."
