In a sensational display at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 25, 2026, Rajasthan Royals' 15-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi unleashed
a 36-ball century against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Blasting RR to 228/6, his innings, decorated with 5 fours and a staggering 12 sixes, set up a massive total and left SRH chasing 229. The teenager's fireworks not only powered his team but shattered multiple records, underlining his status as one of cricket's brightest young stars.
Here are the records and milestones Vaibhav Sooryavanshi created en route to his century.
3rd Fastest Century in IPL History
Sooryavanshi raced to three figures in just 36 deliveries, claiming the third-fastest century in IPL history. This came hot on the heels of his 35-ball ton last season, showcasing his unmatched acceleration in the world's biggest T20 league.
Highest Sixes by an Indian in a Single IPL Innings - 12
The southpaw hammered a record 12 sixes, the most by any Indian batter in one IPL innings. His clean striking and fearless approach dismantled SRH's attack, eclipsing previous benchmarks and highlighting his extraordinary power game.
First Player to Score Two Hundreds in 40 or Fewer Balls
With a 35-ball hundred against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 and now this 36-ball masterpiece, Sooryavanshi became the first cricketer ever to register two IPL centuries in 40 balls or less. This unique feat cements his place among T20 greats for blistering consistency.
100+ 4s and 6s in IPL Career - 49 Fours, 56 Sixes
Entering the innings on 88 boundaries, Sooryavanshi exploded with 5 fours and 12 sixes to surge past 100 combined boundaries in his IPL career. His updated tally of 49 fours and 56 sixes reflects a strike rate that defies logic for a player so young.
Youngest to 2 IPL Centuries
At just 15 years and 29 days old, Sooryavanshi became the youngest player to score two IPL hundreds. Building on his record as the youngest centurion and debutant, he continues to rewrite history books with every explosive knock.
Youngest to 1000 T20 Runs
At the age of 15 years 29 days, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has become the youngest player to score 1000 T20 runs. The youngster also reached the milestone mark in 26 innings, the 2nd quickest among Indians and 6th quickest in the world.
