Mon Apr 28 17:10:00 UTC 2025: ## 14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Smashes Second-Fastest IPL Century
**Jaipur, India** – Rajasthan Royals’ 14-year-old prodigy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, etched his name in IPL history last night, smashing the second-fastest century in the tournament’s history and the fastest ever by an Indian. He achieved the feat in a stunning display against Gujarat Titans, powering his team to an eight-wicket victory.
Suryavanshi’s explosive innings, which included 11 sixes and seven fours, reached the three-figure mark in just 38 balls. This incredible performance not only secured the second-fastest century in IPL history – only surpassed by Chris Gayle’s 30-ball hundred in 2013 – but also made him the youngest player ever to score a century in the tournament at 14 years and 32 days old.
Chasing a challenging 210-run target, Suryavanshi’s blistering knock guided Rajasthan Royals to victory in just 15.5 overs, losing only two wickets in the process. His innings ultimately ended on 101 runs. While the record for the fastest IPL century remains with West Indies legend Chris Gayle, Suryavanshi’s achievement surpasses the previous fastest by an Indian, previously held by Yusuf Pathan. This remarkable feat has cemented Suryavanshi’s place as one of the most exciting young talents in the history of the IPL.
