14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Lights Up Jaipur with Record-Breaking Knock
In a thrilling clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi stole the spotlight as Rajasthan Royals (RR) faced Gujarat Titans (GT) in a must-win encounter. Chasing a daunting target of 210, the 14-year-old prodigy etched his name into IPL history books.
Opening the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryavanshi showed no signs of nerves. He launched his innings with a towering six off Mohammed Siraj and never looked back. Smashing a half-century in just 17 balls—the fastest in IPL 2025—Vaibhav set the tone early. His fearless hitting dismantled seasoned bowlers, including a brutal assault on Ishant Sharma, who was smashed for 28 runs in a single over.
The magic didn’t stop there. Suryavanshi brought up his maiden IPL century in just 35 balls, making him the youngest centurion in IPL history and the second-fastest overall. His century, brought up with a towering six off Rashid Khan, triggered emotional celebrations as even coach Rahul Dravid rose from his wheelchair to applaud the teenager’s incredible feat.
Suryavanshi’s epic knock ended at 101 runs, with a jaw-dropping 94 of those runs coming through boundaries (11 sixes and 7 fours). Despite his dismissal by Prasidh Krishna, the youngster had already made an unforgettable mark. Earlier, GT had posted 209 runs, thanks to Shubman Gill’s 84 and Jos Buttler’s rapid-fire 50. Maheesh Theekshana was RR’s best bowler, taking 2 for 35.
