On Sunday, Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest centurion in men's T20 cricket and smashed the second fastest ton in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The 14-year-old raced away to a century off just 35 balls in just his third IPL 2025 match. His knock was studded with 11 sixes and seven fours and Rajasthan Royals chased down a 209-run target in 15.5 overs.

“It is a very good feeling. It’s my first hundred in the IPL and it’s my third innings. The result has shown here after the practice before the tournament,” the player of the match, Suryavanshi, said.
“I just see the ball and play. It has been a dream to get a 100 in the IPL, and today, it materialised. There is no fear. I don’t think much, I just focus on playing.”
Vaibhav 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.
Chris Gayle holds the record for the fastest century in IPL history.
