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
Suryavanshi surpassed the previous record held by former Maharashtra batter Vijay Hari Zol, who achieved the feat at 18 years of age in 2013. Earlier in the same match, Vaibhav had already made headlines by becoming the youngest player to register a T20 half-century
At just 14 years and 32 days old, the left-hander surpassed the record set by Hassan Eisakhil, the son of former Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi, who had scored a fifty at 15 years and 360 days during a Shpageeza League match in 2022
Vaibhav also rewrote IPL history by becoming the youngest batter to hit a fifty in the tournament, breaking the record previously held by Riyan Parag. Parag had reached the milestone at 17 years and 175 days in 2019, surpassing Sanju Samson’s earlier benchmark of 18 years and 169 days in 2013
