Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old sensation of Rajasthan Royals, put up a record performance during the IPL 2025 game against Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Scoring a record 210, Suryavanshi recorded a record 101 off 38 balls only, which consisted of 11 sixes and seven fours. His 35-ball century-to score a century-taken just in 35 balls-was the second fastest in the history of the IPL, surpassed only by Chris Gayle's 30-ball century record, and the Indian record for fastest century in the IPL play, breaking Yusuf Pathan's previous 37-ball record.
Suryavanshi shattered the record for becoming the youngest player to make a century in men's T20 cricket at 14 years and 32 days, beating Vijay Zol's earlier record of 18 years and 118 days. He also shattered an IPL record for the quickest uncapped Indian maiden fifty with a record of 17 balls. His aggressive strategy tore apart a Gujarat Titans bowling lineup filled with international stars like Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Rashid Khan.
Suryavanshi’s opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal yielded 166 runs in just 11.5 overs, effectively sealing the match well before the 20-over mark.
Rajasthan Royals concluded on 212 for 2 off 15.5 overs, bringing an end to their five-match losing streak and reviving their playoff hopes. The innings was across the board hailed, with reports indicating that even injured head coach Rahul Dravid emerged from his wheelchair to applaud the youngster's milestone-inspired feat-highlighting how crucial this knock is for the future of Indian cricket.
This victory not only boosted Rajasthan’s playoff hopes but also dented Gujarat Titans’ net run rate and pushed them down to third in the IPL standings.
Suryavanshi’s record-breaking innings is already being hailed as one of the most remarkable in IPL history, showcasing extraordinary talent and composure for someone so young.
