IPL 2025: 14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Smashed Fastest Century by an Indian in IPL History. RR Opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi, just 14, became the youngest player to score a century in T20s and the fastest Indian to bring up 100 in IPL. Representing the Rajasthan Royals, Vaibhav’s devastation against the Gujarat Titans came in the form of a breathtakingly fast 101 off just 38 balls, bringing the focus to him. He completed his hundred in just 35 balls, equally sharing the record for the fastest T20 century by an Indian player.
With the Royals chasing down a massive 210, it seemed an easy task with this 14-year-old’s almost fearless nature of batting in the presence of dumbfounded cricket admirers worldwide. Rajasthan won the match in just 15.5 overs. His accomplishment of this rare feat in only the third match of his IPL career added an even greater charm to Vaibhav’s undeniable talent and temperament.

Vaibhav’s bat onslaught crashed on the most disciplined attack of the Gujarat Titans, whose frenzy echoed in the packed stadium. West Indies player Chris Gayle still holds the record for the fastest hundred in IPL history, scored off 30 balls. Vaibhav’s hundred in 35 balls is now the second fastest in IPL history and the fastest from an Indian.

In his 14th year, Vaibhav Suryavanshi was virtually still to be born when Yusuf Pathan made his beloved 37-ball hundred back in 2010. With the record gone, it was now a question of glory for the new prodigy, Vaibhav. In this decade, his hundred is the fastest, and therefore, he is the name to be remembered in modern T20 cricket.
