Did Vaibhav Suryavanshi just smash the record for IPL’s fastest century? See who else made the top 5

14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi couldn't have imagined in his wildest dreams that he would be scoring an IPL century in just his third game of the tournament. The young Rajasthan Royals batter dominated the bowling attack so thoroughly that 94 of his 101 runs came solely from boundaries. His knock also made a mockery of Gujarat Titans’ 212-run total, which was chased down in under 17 overs.

While Suryavanshi, at 14 years and 32 days, is already the youngest player ever in the IPL to score a century, is he also the fastest? Well, not quite — he’s actually the second-fastest to the landmark, behind only West Indian power-hitter Chris Gayle.

Here’s a look at the top 5 fastest centuries in IPL history.

Top 5 fastest centuries in IPL history: 

1) Chris Gayle: 

Chris Gayle smashed a 30-ball century against the Pune Warriors India during a 2013 game and eventually remained not out at a score of 175 runs after the end of 20 overs.

2) Vaibhav Suryavanshi: 

Suryavanshi smashed his century with a six against Rashid Khan on Monday and landing to the landmark in the just 35 deliveries. 

3) Yusuf Pathan:

Former Indian batter Yusuf Pathan had smashed a 37-ball century against the Mumbai Indians in 2010 — a knock that remains his highest score in the 20-over league. Pathan was awarded the Player of the Match for his explosive innings, but his team, the Rajasthan Royals, eventually lost the match by 4 wickets.

4) David Miller: 

Playing for Kings XI Punjab, David Miller played a 101-run knock that saw him reach three figures in just 38 balls. Miller's century helped the Kings win the match by 6 wickets.

5) Travis Head:

Travis Head was in full swing in the 2024 IPL season, scoring a century off just 39 balls against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a match that saw SRH post the highest total in IPL history of 287.
