14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Smashes Fastest Indian IPL Century
In a historic and electrifying moment for Indian cricket, a 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi shocked the cricketing world with the fastest Indian IPL century. His achievement announced him to the legends of the game: age, after all, is just a number when talent meets determination.
A Record-Breaking Knock
The young player representing Rajasthan Royals lit up the field against Gujarat Titans, completing his century in just 35 balls, thus creating a new record for the fastest century by an Indian player in the Indian Premier League (IPL)‘s history; the previous record was held by Yusuf Pathan with a hundred in 37 balls. This whirlwind knock brought Rajasthan Royals a highly convincing 10-wicket victory and importantly, put Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the limelight as the new face of Indian cricket.
A cavalier style baseline featured 11 sixes and 7 fours that utilized all the skill and experience the bowlers could muster, to leave fans and commentators awestruck. The remarkable feat has set the buzz around IPL 2025 into overdrive. More than a match, this was a watershed moment in the history of the league.
Journey of a Young Cricket Sensation
Hailing from Samastipur, Bihar, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been on an incredible cricket journey at a very early age. Having gained fame in local circuits due to his astonishing talent, he first made headlines when he scored a triple-century in a local Bihar tournament. Shortly thereafter, he made more records by scoring a century for India’s U-19 team.
At just 13 years old, he became the youngest player ever purchased in an IPL Auction and soon also became a record in itself. Rajasthan Royals took a big gamble in signing him, and that investment pays off really big, even till now.
Surely, everyone in coaches and expert circles points out at this budding star’s batting technique coupled with how he handles match pressures, making him all settled for the highest possible standard in the game.
