Teenage Prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi Blasts Record-Breaking Century at Asia Cup Rising Stars
DOHA, QATAR – Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old cricket sensation, has once again set the cricketing world ablaze with a blistering century in the Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025. Representing India A, Suryavanshi smashed a whirlwind 144 runs off just 42 balls against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a match held at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium.
The young opener’s explosive innings included a staggering 15 sixes and 11 fours, propelling India A to a formidable total. Suryavanshi reached his century in a mere 32 balls, equalling the second-fastest T20 century by an Indian batsman, a record previously held by Rishabh Pant. The fastest T20 centuries by an Indian batter came from Urvil Patel and Abhishek Sharma, who have both hit a century in 28 balls.
Suryavanshi, who represents Bihar in domestic cricket, also holds the unique distinction of being the only player to score two T20 centuries in 35 balls or less. He had previously achieved a 35-ball century playing for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025, making him the youngest player to score an IPL century and the second-fastest after Chris Gayle.
In today’s match, India A, after winning the toss and electing to bat, suffered an early setback with the run-out of Priyansh Arya (10). However, Suryavanshi’s aggressive approach took the game away from the UAE. He forged a 163-run partnership for the second wicket with Naman Dhir (34 off 23 balls). Captain Jitesh Sharma further contributed with a quickfire 83 off 32 balls, including 8 fours and 6 sixes. Nehal Vadhera added 14 runs off 9 balls as India A reached 297/4 in their allotted 20 overs.
The Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars is scheduled to be held from November 14th to 23rd.
