If you thought IPL 2025 couldn’t get crazier, well, think again. A buzzing Monday evening at the Sawai Mansingh stadium was just the backdrop for a 14-year-old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, to wreak complete havoc on Gujarat Titans—and wow, what an absolute show! . Hitting a ridiculous 101 off just 38 balls, Vaibhav didn’t just announce his arrival; he kicked the doors in. Here are the 5 insane milestones this young gun hit during his unforgettable innings!
Youngest Player to Hit a T20 Century
At 14 years and 32 days old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi broke records to become the youngest player in history to score a T20 century. Yes, you read that right! While most teenagers stress about homework or exams, Vaibhav was busy taking down a top IPL bowling attack with astonishing ease. He usurped the record held by Maharashtra’s Vijay Zol, who was 18 years and 118 days old at the time. He pretty much set the bar as high as possible! This isn’t a “remember the name” moment—this is a “start a whole new chapter” moment!
Fastest Half-Century of IPL 2025
The MS Dhoni lookalike smashed a 17-ball fifty to trump Nicholas Pooran’s 18-ball fifty from earlier in the season. Even more astonishing was the way Vaibhav destroyed experienced bowlers as if they were anonymous bowlers on a net session. The raw intentions and clean hitting were a textbook version of T20 batting. Vaibhav was not just slogging, every shot was precise and hammering.

Second-Fastest Hundred in IPL History
If you blinked, you probably missed it. Vaibhav didn’t just get to his half century, he made it to a century in 35 balls, making it the second-fastest century in IPL history, just behind Chris Gayle’s legendary 30-ball century in 2013, perhaps the best innings in eleven seasons of IPL cricket. You don’t have to be a diehard cricket supporter to know that being mentioned in the same breath as Universe Boss Chris Gayle is something pretty incredible.
However, what Vaibhav did that I found very interesting was how he carried himself; there was a complete lack of spectacle, just a cool nod and something like an acknowledgement of his achievement. So, was that 100 per cent confidence when he acknowledged his brilliance, or just a bit of a hint that there was even more in store?
Second-Fastest 50 for Rajasthan Royals
The Rajasthan Royals have backed young talent, but surely even they couldn’t’ve dreamt of this! A 17-ball fifty is now the second-fastest for RR, only Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 13-ball ton last season was faster. The greatest thing about this, though, is that Vaibhav and Jaiswal were batting together, which was one of the most explosive opening partnerships we’ve witnessed this season. This felt like a true “passing the baton” moment – the veteran young gun (Jaiswal) staring at the even younger gun (Vaibhav) lighting it up in the sky!
Fastest 50 Against Gujarat Titans
Bad luck for the Gujarat Titans. They came to this match with a strong bowler and got put on highlight reels by a teenager. Be it a 30-run over against debutant Karim Janat or belting Mohammed Shami over extra cover, Vaibhav looked like he was playing backyard cricket against the world’s best. It was not just brutal, it was technical.
If this is an under-21 player, just think where he will be at age 20! Are we looking at the next big thing, or has the next face of world cricket already arrived? We want to hear your thoughts down below in the comments, because one thing is for sure: the IPL and cricket, in general, would certainly never be the same again.
