Vaibhav Suryavanshi Shatters Records with Century in IPL 2025
Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Historic IPL Performance
On Monday night in Jaipur, Vaibhav Suryavanshi emerged as a sensational new star in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The 14-year-old batter for Rajasthan Royals achieved a remarkable century against Gujarat Titans, making him the youngest player in the league's history to score a hundred. He surpassed the previous record held by Manish Pandey, who scored his first century at the age of 19 in 2009.
After the match, Suryavanshi was greeted by enthusiastic fans and media at the team hotel in Jaipur. A viral video on social media captures him joyfully signing autographs for young admirers. Earlier, he had already made headlines as the youngest player to debut in the IPL, and now, with this century, he has solidified his status among the tournament's most promising talents.

Suryavanshi's explosive innings of 101 runs off just 38 deliveries featured 11 sixes and 7 fours. He skillfully dismantled the formidable bowling attack of Gujarat Titans, securing a significant victory for Rajasthan Royals as they chased down a target of 210 runs with an eight-wicket win. Acquired for ₹1.1 crore in the IPL 2025 auction, his performance validated the Royals' investment. Even mentor Rahul Dravid would surely commend his exceptional display.
This win marked a crucial turnaround for Rajasthan Royals, who had struggled with only two victories in their first nine matches. This match was vital for their playoff aspirations. Currently, the Rajasthan Royals are positioned eighth and will face Mumbai Indians on Thursday in another must-win encounter, as a loss would eliminate their chances of qualification.
