Jaipur: Teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to rewrite record books in IPL 2026. The 15-year-old opener for Rajasthan Royals smashed a blistering century in just 36 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad, registering the third-fastest hundred in IPL history.
Among the Fastest in IPL History
The fastest century in IPL history still belongs to Chris Gayle, who reached the milestone in just 30 balls for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors India in 2013.
Interestingly, Suryavanshi already holds another remarkable feat — he scored a 35-ball century in 2025, making him one of the quickest centurions in the league. Players like Yusuf Pathan and Heinrich Klaasen have also recorded centuries in 37 balls.

- Reached his half-century in just 15 balls
- Completed his century on the 36th ball
- Built a 112-run partnership with Dhruv Jurel for the second wicket
Jurel also played a solid knock, scoring 51 runs off 35 balls.
Team Performance
Rajasthan Royals, after losing the toss, posted a strong total of 228/6.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 10 runs
- Donovan Ferreira added a quick 33 runs
For Sunrisers Hyderabad, Ishan Malinga was the most successful bowler with two wickets.
