In a sensational performance at the IPL 2025, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi delivered a historic innings by scoring a century off just 35 balls against Gujarat Titans, breaking previous records set by Yusuf Pathan and Abhishek Sharma for the second-fastest hundred in IPL history.
Chasing a formidable 210-run target, Vaibhav turned the contest on its head with his fearless batting. His innings, packed with breathtaking shots and aggressive strokeplay, stunned the Titans' bowlers and electrified the crowd in Jaipur.
In only his third knock, Vaibhav struck 7 boundaries and 11 sixes, maintaining an extraordinary strike rate that kept his team firmly in the chase. He displayed maturity beyond his years, combining clean hitting with smart strike rotation.
However, his knock ended soon at 101 runs in 37 deliverie when Prasidh Krishna bowled him in the 12 over.
The 35-ball hundred surpassed previous milestones set by IPL stars. Yusuf Pathan had earlier scored a century off 37 balls, while Abhishek Sharma's explosive 40-ball knock had also been among the quickest. Vaibhav now joins this elite list, rewriting record books at just 14 and only behind the Universal boss, Chris Gayle.
Vaibhav had earlier announced his arrival with a six off the very first ball he faced in IPL 2025, during his debut against Lucknow Super Giants. He had gone on to score a brisk 34 runs off 20 balls, including two boundaries and three towering sixes, giving Rajasthan Royals a flying start in that crucial encounter. Though he was dismissed in the ninth over, he left a lasting impression with his fearless batting approach.
Born on March 27, 2011, in Bihar, Vaibhav is the youngest player ever to feature in the IPL. He broke the record previously held by Prayas Ray Barman, who had debuted for Royal Challengers Bangalore at the age of 16 in IPL 2019.
Vaibhav's rapid rise began when Rajasthan Royals bought him for INR 1.1 crore at the IPL 2024 auction, making him the youngest player ever to be picked. His sensational 2024 season saw him excel domestically and internationally. At just 12 years and 284 days old, he made his first-class debut for Bihar in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he scored 71 off 42 balls against Baroda, becoming the youngest Indian to score a List-A fifty.
Internationally, Vaibhav caught attention by scoring the fastest youth Test century by an Indian, hammering a 58-ball hundred against Australia in Chennai. He also played a key role in India's journey to the ACC U19 Asia Cup final, scoring two crucial half-centuries.
