IPL2025 : Vaibhav Suryavanshi: List of new records achieved after breathtaking century
At just 14 years of age, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has pulled off a feat in IPL 2025 that is almost unbelievable. Playing against Gujarat Titans, the young prodigy smashed a century off just 35 balls, rewriting history books. His incredible innings included many sixes and he maintained a staggering strike rate of over 265. During this historic knock, Suryavanshi broke several major records. Let’s take a closer look at his achievements:
Youngest Centurion in Cricket History
Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become the youngest player ever — not just in IPL, but in the entire history of professional cricket — to score a century. No player before him had ever scored a hundred at the age of just 14.
Fastest Century by an Indian in IPL
Suryavanshi is now the youngest player to score a century in IPL history and also holds the record for the fastest century by an Indian in the tournament. He broke Yusuf Pathan’s record, who had scored a century off 37 balls back in 2008 — a time when Vaibhav hadn't even been born! While the fastest century overall in IPL still belongs to Chris Gayle (30 balls), Suryavanshi’s achievement is unparalleled among Indian players.
Most Sixes in First Three IPL Innings
Vaibhav Suryavanshi also set a new benchmark by hitting 16 sixes across his first three IPL innings — breaking Brendon McCullum’s previous record of 15 sixes.
Youngest Indian to Hit Most Sixes in a Match
The young sensation now holds the record for hitting the most sixes by an Indian in a single IPL match at the youngest age. Against Gujarat, he hammered 11 sixes, surpassing Murali Vijay’s previous record. Additionally, he now holds the record for the most sixes in an IPL innings by an uncapped Indian player.
Fastest to a Century (by Overs)
Suryavanshi also became the fastest Indian to reach a century in terms of overs faced, bringing up his hundred in just 10.2 overs. For reference, Chris Gayle still holds the all-time record, having scored a century in 8.5 overs.
