The Rajasthan Royals’ captain, Riyan Parag, praised the young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi for his blistering century. The 14-year-old stormed in on the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur with a bang against the Gujarat Titans, clocking the second-fastest hundred in IPL history.
At Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored a century against Gujarat Titans (GT) and set a record. This fine performance made him the youngest male cricketer to score a T20 hundred, breaking the 18-year-old record set by Vijay Hari Zol in 2013.
Vaibhav was not only aggressive in his batting but also extraordinary in timing; needing only 17 balls to notch fifty and finishing with a hundred in another 18 balls. His 101 off 38 balls helped Rajasthan Royals chase what was supposed to be a huge target in just 15.5 overs and end their five-match losing streak in style. Of all the fastest centuries in the IPL, Vaibhav’s is now second only to Chris Gayle’s unprecedented 30-ball effort for RCB in 2013.

Riyan Parag, captain of the Rajasthan Royals, was gushing about Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the teenage phenom who caught everyone off guard with a scorching century. The 14-year-old prodigy lit up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur against the Gujarat Titans, smashing the second-fastest hundred in IPL history.
“Getting a hundred in the first year when you are 14 years old—that is something unheard of; you don’t hear that anywhere in the world, any league, any country, or whatever it is. To see what he can do in practice and coming out here, like I said earlier, hitting against world-class bowlers like Rashid or Siraj. Coming out and doing what he did is just something you don’t see every day.” Riyan Parag said.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old Rajasthan Royals player, made the fastest-ever IPL century off 35 balls and became the youngest player to hit a T20 century, helping Rajasthan break their five-match losing streak and stay alive in the IPL 2025 playoffs.
