"No Fear": Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 1st Reaction After Becoming Youngest T20 Centurion In The World

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old wonderkid from Samastipur, Bihar, ensured that he becomes a household name in India after achieving a rarest of rare feat in world cricket. With his 35-ball century for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans in an IPL 2025 match in Jaipur on Monday, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is now the second fastest centurion in IPL after Chris Gayle's 30-ball knock for RCB and fastest ever for any Indian. When other 14-year-olds a cross the country are busy completing middle-school assignments and being admonished by quietly sneaking in for a PlayStation session, the left-handed Suryavanshi, simply stood and delivered against Indian bowlers Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Siraj with a collective experience of 141 Tests between them. 

"It is a very good feeling. It's my first hundred in the IPL and it's my third innings. The result has shown here after the practice before the tournament. I just see the ball and play. Batting with Jaiswal is good, he tells me what to do and he infuses positive things. It has been a dream to get a 100 in the IPL and today it materialised. There is no fear. I don't think much, I just focus on playing," Vaibhav Suryavanshi said after the match-winning knock.

Vaibhav reached his century in 35 balls, which is the second-fastest century in the history of the IPL, below Chris Gayle's 30-ball ton against now-defunct Pune Warriors India for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) back in 2013. Vaibhav is now also the fastest Indian to score a century in the IPL.

The left-hander, at the age of 14 years and 32 days, is the youngest player to score a century in T20 cricket history, surpassing Vijay Zol ,who was 18 years and 118 days old while scoring a century for Maharashtra against Mumbai in
