Vaibhav Suryavanshi IPL Record

Breaking Records and Setting Milestones

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, at just 14 years old, is now the youngest player ever to score a century in the IPL.

Scoring a century in just 35 balls, the record for the fastest century by an Indian in IPL history is now Vaibhav’s, beating the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya.

In fact, it is the Second Fastest Overall!

With Chris Gayle having a faster century with his legendary 30-ball knock, Vaibhav stands as the second-fastest century holder in IPL history, cementing his place among the all-time greats.

This knock wasn’t just a record—it was a statement!

The Boundary Blitz

Power-Hitting at Its Best with Vaibhav Suryavanshi on Crease!

What made Vaibhav’s innings even more electrifying was his boundary count. Hitting 11 sixes and 7 fours, his knock was a reminder of the raw power young cricketers can possess.Vaibhav’s knock wasn’t just explosive—it was electric. The guy hammered 88 of his 102 runs purely through boundaries. That’s 11 sixes and 7 fours—talk about going full beast mode. What really turned heads, though, was who he was taking down. Smacking sixes off the likes of Rashid Khan and Mohammed Siraj? That is next-level charisma.

With 48 runs and 2 wickets already down, Rajastan Royal had to chase a mountain of 215 runs. The pressure was real. But then walked in Vaibhav, cool as ice, and flipped the script. With Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav changed the game upside down just like that, hits century. And seals the deal in mere 16.2 overs. That’s nearly three overs to spare in a 200+ chase. Wild.

Handling the Pressure

The Young Prodigy Under Fire

One of the most incredible things about Vaibhav’s knock wasn’t just the sixes or the strike rate—it was how he held his nerve when the pressure was sky-high. This wasn’t a casual Sunday match. It was a high-stakes IPL clash, under the blinding lights, in front of a roaring crowd, with millions watching every move on their screens. But Vaibhav? Was as cool as ice.

For someone so young, he batted with the calm and poise of a seasoned pro. No panic, no over-the-top shots—just pure focus and belief. It was the kind of mental strength you don’t usually see in someone still making their mark. And that’s what made his performance even more legendary.

Facing World-Class Bowlers!

How He Took on the Best?

Playing against seasoned international bowlers like Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, and Ishant Sharma can rattle your confidence. But not Vaibhav. He read the bowlers stayed unfazed under pressure with his sharp mindset and confidence. Unshakable. It wasn’t just a good innings—it was a statement.

Key Moments of the Innings

The First Six!

Vaibhav didn’t wait around to get comfortable. His very first six came off none other than Rashid Khan—one of the most feared bowlers in T20 cricket.

The Over Against Siraj

During the 10th over, bowling was assigned to  Mohammed Siraj’s but it wasn’t over for Vaibhav because he had had other plans. He went absolutely berserk, launching three jaw-dropping sixes in that one over. It wasn’t just about the runs anymore—it was about momentum. That over flipped the script entirely, and suddenly, Rajasthan looked like the favorites.

The Match-Closing Shot

A thunderous six to Ishant Sharma’s bouncer was the grand finale. Not only did it seal the match but also bring up his century in style. No nervy singles, no drama—just pure power.

It's not over yet!
