Vaibhav Suryavanshi has shattered a 16-year-old record to become the youngest player ever to score a hundred in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The Rajasthan Royals’ teenage sensation lit up Jaipur with an unforgettable innings against Gujarat Titans, smashing a magnificent hundred at just 14 years and 32 days of age. He broke the long-standing record previously held by Manish Pandey, who scored his iconic IPL century for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2009 at the age of 19 years and 253 days. Now Vaibhav Suryavanshi holds the record for youngest to make IPL hundred.
Opening the innings in a daunting chase of 210, Suryavanshi played with a composure and flair that belied his age. His century, filled with clean hitting and fearless shot-making, left the Gujarat Titans bowlers stunned and sent the Sawai Mansingh Stadium into a frenzy. Rajasthan Royals raced to 87/0 inside the Powerplay, thanks largely to Suryavanshi’s breathtaking acceleration.
This milestone is another stunning addition to Vaibhav’s growing list of records in his breakthrough IPL season. His maiden IPL fifty came off just 17 balls — the fastest in IPL 2025 — and he had already become the youngest player to debut, youngest to hit a six, and youngest to hit a four in the IPL before this landmark century. Now he becomes the youngest player to score IPL century.
He finished on an unbelievable 101 off 38 balls before Prasidh Krishna cleaned him up with a spectacular yorker. Suryavanshi walked off to a rousing applause from the stands. Here’s a list of youngest to make an IPL hundred.
