14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi made an unforgettable impact on the IPL 2025 season, delivering a performance that left fans and experts alike in awe.
Playing for Rajasthan Royals (RR) against Gujarat Titans (GT) on April 28 in Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Suryavanshi became the youngest player in IPL history to score a half-century, achieving the feat in just 17 balls. But that was just the start of his record-breaking day.
A remarkable Half-Century
Suryavanshi’s innings started with a bang as he blitzed to his half-century, hitting 6 sixes and 3 fours, setting the record for the fastest half-century of IPL 2025.
His explosive style also saw him claim the fastest fifty ever scored against Gujarat Titans, taking the game by storm and forcing even the experienced Gujarat bowlers like Ishant Sharma and Mohammad Siraj to struggle.
Century of a Lifetime
Not content with just the half-century, Vaibhav Suryavanshi continued to dominate. He completed his century in just 35 balls, becoming the second-fastest player in IPL history to achieve the milestone, and the fastest Indian to do so. His total of 101 runs off 37 balls was a thrilling display of young talent, earning him the record of the fastest ton of IPL 2025.
Fastest Centuries in IPL History:
30 balls – Chris Gayle (RCB vs PWI, Bengaluru, 2013)
35 balls – Vaibhav Suryavanshi (RR vs GT, Jaipur, 2025)
37 balls – Yusuf Pathan (RR vs MI, Mumbai, 2010)

Vaibhav’s Record-Breaking Achievements:
Fastest century in IPL 2025
Second-fastest century for Rajasthan Royals
Fastest century against Gujarat Titans
Youngest player to score 100 runs in IPL history
With his knock, Suryavanshi has not only set new records but also established himself as a rising star in the IPL.
Vaibhav’s explosive century, along with a 166-run stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal, powered Rajasthan Royals (RR) to 8-wicket win over Gujarat Titans (GT).
The 166-run partnership between Suryavanshi and Jaiswal now stands as the highest-ever partnership for any wicket in Rajasthan Royals’ history.
