Mon Apr 28 17:10:00 UTC 2025: ## 14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Shatters IPL Records with Fastest Century
**Jaipur, India** – Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old sensation from Samastipur, Bihar, has etched his name in IPL history. In the 47th match of IPL 2025 against Gujarat Titans, Suryavanshi smashed a breathtaking century off just 38 balls, becoming the youngest player ever to achieve this feat in the IPL and setting a new record for the fastest century by an Indian.
Playing for the Rajasthan Royals, Suryavanshi’s explosive innings included seven fours and eleven sixes. He reached his century in a mere 35 balls, eclipsing even Chris Gayle’s previous record of 30 balls for the second-fastest IPL century. His knock propelled Rajasthan Royals to a comfortable 8-wicket victory, chasing down a 210-run target in just 15.5 overs. Suryavanshi was unsurprisingly named Player of the Match.
“It feels amazing,” Suryavanshi said after receiving the award. “This is my first century in three IPL innings. I’ve been working hard for the past three to four months, and it’s paid off. I just focus on the ball and play my game. Partnering with Yashasvi Jaiswal gives me confidence; he’s very positive and always offers advice.”
Despite his incredible achievement, Suryavanshi remains unfazed by the prospect of bowlers targeting him more aggressively in future matches. “No fear,” he stated confidently. “I don’t think about it; I just focus on playing.”
His innings overshadowed even Jaiswal’s impressive 70 runs off 40 balls. The victory breathes new life into Rajasthan Royals’ playoff hopes, lifting them to eighth place in the standings with 6 points from 10 matches.
