Who is the Indian Batter to Score Fastest Century in IPL History?
At just 14 years and 32 days old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi lit up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday (April 28), smashing his way into the record books with the fastest century by an Indian in IPL history. So Let’s take a look at Who is the Indian Batter to Score Fastest Century in IPL History?.
The Rajasthan Royals’ young prodigy needed only 35 balls, hammering 7 fours and 11 sixes to reach his hundred against Gujarat Titans in a high-stakes IPL 2025 clash.
In doing so, Vaibhav broke Yusuf Pathan’s long-standing record from 2010, when Pathan had scored a blistering 37-ball century for the Royals against Mumbai Indians. Only Chris Gayle’s 30-ball hundred remains faster in IPL history.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who debuted earlier this season against Lucknow Super Giants, made headlines from the get-go, smashing a six off his very first IPL delivery bowled by Shardul Thakur. Though he registered modest scores of 34 and 16 in his first two outings, the southpaw made sure the third time was truly the charm.
Walking off after a jaw-dropping 101 off 38 balls, Vaibhav’s knock featured effortless power-hitting, fearless strokeplay, and a maturity far beyond his years. His whirlwind innings, stitched with a massive 166-run opening stand, helped RR gun down a towering 210-run target in just 15.5 overs, keeping their playoffs hopes alive.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s IPL 2025 price and his match-winning impact
When Rajasthan Royals spent out Rs 1.1 crore for a 14-year-old at the IPL 2025 auction, eyebrows were raised. But on Monday, young Vaibhav Suryavanshi showed exactly why he was worth every penny and perhaps a lot more.
In a must-win encounter against the Gujarat Titans, RR faced a daunting task, chasing a massive 210-run target. However, the fearless teenager batted like a seasoned pro, smashing a stunning 101 off just 38 balls.
Thanks to his heroics, Rajasthan Royals climbed up to eighth place on the points table, keeping their playoff dreams alive. In just his third IPL outing, Vaibhav Suryavanshi didn’t justify his price tag he announced himself as a future star.
