14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi on Monday (April 28) created history by scoring the fastest century in IPL history by an Indian batter. The left-handed batter from Bihar needed only 35 balls (7 fours, 11 sixes) to cross the 100-run mark in the IPL 2025 match between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. He broke Yusuf Pathan’s record. During the Rajasthan Royals-Mumbai Indians IPL match at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on March 13, 2010, Pathan scored a century in 37 balls for the inaugural edition winners.

The overall record of scoring the fastest century in the IPL is in the name of former West Indies captain and legendary opening batter Chris Gayle. During the RCB-PWI IPL 2013 match in Bengaluru on April 23, 2013, Gayle scored a 30-ball century for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
