IPL 2026: Vaibhav Suryavanshi Smashes 36-Ball Century, Scripts Another Record

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.

 A Knock to Remember

Playing at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Suryavanshi scored 103 runs off just 37 balls, smashing 12 sixes and 5 fours.

• 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.

 Rising Star

At just 15, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is already proving to be one of the most exciting young talents in cricket, showcasing fearless batting and record-breaking consistency.

In one line: Vaibhav Suryavanshi hammered a 36-ball century to become one of the fastest centurions in IPL history.
