Rajasthan Royals are playing the Gujarat Titans in match number 47 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on 28th April, 2025. 84 runs of 50 balls from the skipper, 50* (36) from Jos Butler along with a handful 39 from opener Sai Sudarshan had propelled GT to 209/4 in 20 overs. Coming out for the run-chase, all eyes were on 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi who has been a revelation for RR this season. And the teenage sensation has etched his name into the history books with a knock for the ages in this IPL match.
Bashing the bowlers right and left, Vaibhav has scored 101 off just 38 balls before getting dismissed by Prasidh Krishna. Smashing eleven sixes and seven fours, Vaibhav finished his innings at a mammoth strike of 265.78. Taking just 35 balls to reach his century, the 14-year-old became the youngest player to score a century in T20s and has also become the player to score the second-fastest century in the IPL, only behind Chris Gayle. His opening partnership of 166 with Yashasvi Jaiswal in just 11 overs has made this tricky chase look super easy for RR.
