T20 cricket has often been a stage where prodigious talent announces itself early. In India, young batters continue to make headlines with stunning innings that defy their age. With players like Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Suryavanshi making waves, here’s a look at some of the youngest Indians to score centuries in men’s T20 cricket. So let’s know about Youngest Indians to score T20 century.
5) Shaik Rasheed – 19 Years and 25 Days
Andhra’s rising star Shaik Rasheed first caught the spotlight in October 2023, scoring a T20 century at just 19 years and 25 days. Batting at number four for Andhra against Arunachal Pradesh in Ranchi during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025, Rasheed smashed 100 off 54 balls*, including 10 boundaries and six sixes.
His innings helped Andhra crush Arunachal Pradesh by 145 runs, making him the second quickest Indian to register a T20 century at the time.
4) Ayush Mhatre – 18 Years and 135 Days
Chennai Super Kings’ youngster Ayush Mhatre followed suit during the 2025 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Opening for Mumbai against Vidarbha in Lucknow, Mhatre scored 110 from 53 balls*, hitting eight boundaries and eight sixes.
He reached his century in just 49 deliveries, steering Mumbai to a seven-wicket win in 17.5 overs. This knock was crucial as Mhatre was under scrutiny to justify his CSK retention for IPL 2026.

In the 2025 Asia Cup Rising Stars T20 in Doha, Vaibhav Suryavanshi displayed a whirlwind innings of 144 from 42 balls for India A, achieving a strike rate of 342.85. With 11 fours and 15 sixes, he helped India A score 297-4 and secure a dominant 148-run victory over UAE.
1) Vaibhav Suryavanshi – 14 Years and 32 Days
Suryavanshi had already made history earlier in 2025 with a sensational IPL century for Rajasthan Royals at just 14 years and 32 days, smashing 101 off 38 balls. Opening against Gujarat Titans, he dominated seasoned internationals, cementing his record as the youngest Indian to score a T20 century.
