Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old cricketer, achieved a phenomenal century in just 35 balls during an IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans. This made him the youngest player to score a T20 century and the fastest Indian to reach this milestone in the IPL.
His incredible innings included 11 boundaries and 7 sixes, leading to an 8-wicket victory for the Royals and earning him the Player of the Match award. The crowd and his teammates celebrated his achievement with great enthusiasm.
Suryavanshi expressed his delight, attributing his success to months of dedicated practice. Team captain Riyan Parag described his performance as ‘incredible.’
This remarkable performance adds to Suryavanshi’s growing list of achievements. Earlier this season, he became the youngest cricketer to play in the IPL at 14 years and 23 days, and in November, he was the youngest player to have his rights purchased at the IPL auction.
The IPL is India’s most lucrative sporting competition and one of the world’s biggest leagues, valued at $12 billion in 2024.
