In a historic feat on Monday, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi etched his name into the record books by smashing the second-fastest century in the history of the Indian Premier League. Representing Rajasthan Royals, the prodigy from Bihar reached his hundred in just 35 balls during their thrilling chase of 210 against Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

Vaibhav’s breathtaking knock not only lit up the stadium but also set a new world record, making him the youngest male cricketer ever to score a T20 century, according to available data. He surpassed the previous record held by former Maharashtra batter Vijay Hari Zol, who achieved the feat at 18 years of age in 2013.
