Mon Apr 28 18:52:28 UTC 2025: ## 14-Year-Old Shatters IPL Records in Stunning Century

**Jaipur, India –** Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) teenage sensation, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, has rewritten the Indian Premier League (IPL) record books, becoming the youngest-ever centurion in the tournament’s history at just 14 years and 32 days old. His whirlwind innings of 101 runs off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Monday also secured him the title of fastest Indian to reach a century in IPL history (35 balls), surpassing Yusuf Pathan’s previous record.

Suryavanshi’s performance wasn’t just confined to IPL records. He also claimed the world record for the youngest ever T20 century, beating Vijay Zol’s previous mark. His aggressive batting display saw him mercilessly punish GT bowlers, smashing 28 runs off one over bowled by veteran Ishant Sharma and a further 30 runs off Karim Janat.

While Suryavanshi’s incredible knock ultimately ended with his dismissal by Prasidh Krishna, it wasn’t enough to secure victory for the Royals. Earlier in the match, Gujarat Titans posted a challenging 209/4, largely thanks to Shubman Gill’s classy 84 off 50 balls and Jos Buttler’s explosive 50 not out. Buttler particularly targeted RR’s bowling attack, showcasing his power hitting with several towering sixes.

The match showcased a stark contrast in batting styles, with Gill’s elegant strokeplay and Buttler’s aggressive hitting contrasting sharply with Suryavanshi’s record-breaking youthful exuberance. Despite the loss, Suryavanshi’s performance cemented his place in IPL history as a prodigious talent to watch.
