In a historic display of talent and composure, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi etched his name into cricketing history by becoming the youngest centurion in men’s T20 cricket. Representing Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025, Suryavanshi delivered a scintillating 101 off just 38 balls against Gujarat Titans, showcasing a blend of fearless aggression and mature shot selection.

Opening the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal, the duo forged a formidable 166-run partnership, propelling Rajasthan Royals to a commanding eight-wicket victory while chasing a daunting target of 210. Suryavanshi’s innings was punctuated with 11 towering sixes and 7 boundaries, reflecting a strike rate of 265.78.

This remarkable feat not only made him the youngest to score a T20 century but also registered the fastest IPL century by an Indian, surpassing Yusuf Pathan’s previous record.  His performance drew accolades from cricketing legends, with Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh lauding his exceptional talent and temperament.

Hailing from Bihar, Suryavanshi’s cricketing journey has been meteoric. He made his first-class debut in the Ranji Trophy at just 12 and was signed by Rajasthan Royals for INR 1.1 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 season.  His rapid ascent underscores the depth of cricketing talent emerging from India’s grassroots.

As Rajasthan Royals strive to climb the IPL standings, Suryavanshi’s emergence offers a beacon of hope and a glimpse into the future of Indian cricket. His blend of youthful exuberance and cricketing acumen promises an exciting journey ahead for fans and the sport alike.
