Vaibhav Suryavanshi / Rajasthan Royals
Indian batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi on April 28 became the youngest to hit a senior T20 century at 14 years and 32 days as he powered Rajasthan Royals' chase against Gujarat Titans in the IPL.
Suryavanshi, a left-hand batsman who became the youngest IPL debutant on April 19, smashed 100 off 35 balls to pummel the opposition attack with seven fours and 11 sixes.
At 14 years and 32 days, Suryavanshi went past the previous record, set by Vijay Zol of Maharashtra at 18 years and 118 days against Mumbai in an Indian domestic match in 2013.
Additionally, his 35-ball hundred is now the fastest century by an Indian in IPL history, and the second-fastest overall in the league’s history, behind only Chris Gayle’s 30-ball ton in 2013.
Opening alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryavanshi showcased his intent from the start, sending Mohammed Siraj over the ropes early in his innings. In a breathtaking assault, he plundered 26 runs off veteran pacer Ishant Sharma’s over, bringing up his half-century in just 17 balls—the fastest fifty of IPL 2025.

Suryavanshi eventually reached his century by launching a six off Rashid Khan. Although he was dismissed soon after by Prasidh Krishna, his innings had already rewritten the record books:
Youngest IPL century makers:
1. Vaibhav Suryavanshi – 14 years, 32 days
2. Manish Pandey – 19 years, 253 days (2009 IPL)
3. Rishabh Pant – 20 years, 218 days (2018 IPL)
