Indian batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi once again gave a testament to his explosive hitting abilities by blasting a record-breaking century in the ongoing Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025. Playing for India A, the 14-year-old reached the three-digit mark in just 32 balls, courtesy of a staggering 10 boundaries and four maximums.
In the process, the dynamic left-hander broke his own IPL record where he became the fastest Indian to score a ton in 35 balls. Suryavanshi’s latest heroics also level him with Rishabh Pant, who too hit a T20 ton in 32 balls. Overall, Suryavanshi is the sixth fastest to register a century in T20 cricket.
Earlier this year, the youngster slammed the fastest hundred in U19 ODIs during the England tour. More recently, during the Australia series in October, he finished as the third-highest run-scorer in the three-match ODI leg with 124 runs at an average of 41.33.
Suryavanshi undoubtedly has been a revelation ever since his foray and has witnessed a meteoric rise in a very short span.

The shift from U19 to India A side is clearly a sign that the Indian management wants to see the prodigal talent in the senior side as quickly as possible. Sachin Tendulkar is the youngest Indian to make a national team debut at 16 years old and Suryavanshi now has a strong chance to break the Master Blaster’s record if he continues impressing like this.
After his IPL 2025 exploits, where he smacked 252 runs in seven matches at a blistering strike rate of over 200 and earned the Best Strike Rate of the Season award, he has delivered the goods in the national colours too.
Realistically speaking, with the T20 World Cup 2026 slated for next year, it will be difficult to incorporate the gun talent into the scheme of things at the moment but a senior debut in one year’s time, given he continues performing, wouldn’t be a surprise. The upcoming IPL 2026 season will also play a key role in boosting his case for a fast-tracked national team selection too.
