Who is Vaibhav Suryavanshi: Vaibhav Suryavanshi etched his name in the history books as he smashed an incredible hundred, the first of his IPL career, which came in just 35 balls. This was the second fastest hundred in the history of the IPL after Chris Gayle's 30-ball century.

Vaibhav became the fastest Indian to hit an IPL hundred. He is also now the youngest ever to score a T20 century.

The historic instance took place in the 11th over of Rajasthan's run chase against Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2025 match 47 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium when he smashed Rashid Khan for a magnificent six on the leg side.

He stitched a 166-run opening stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal to lay the foundation for RR's run chase. He was dismissed for 101 runs in the 12th over by Prasidh Krishna. He smashed seven fours and 11 sixes.
