Here’s the new milestones achieved by Vaibhav Suryavanshi in IPL.
Youngest Centurion in T20 cricket
Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed his maiden IPL hundred at the age of 14 years and 32 days and became the youngest player to score a century not only in the IPL but also in the T20 cricket.

Fastest century by an Indian in IPL
The lad from Bihar smashed a century in just 35 balls posting the fastest century by an Indian in the history of IPL. He left behind Yusuf Pathan, who was leading the list with his 37-ball hundred, registered in 2010. He is only behind Chris Gayle who achieved the feat in just 30 balls.
Joint-most sixes by an Indian in a single IPL innings
Vaibhav’s blitzkrieg included 7 fours and 11 sixes. He tied Murli Vijay’s record for the most sixes by an Indian in a single IPL innings. Meanwhile, he surpassed Sanju Samson (10 sixes) to hit the most sixes for Rajasthan Royals in an innings. Sanju had a record of 10 sixes.
Most runs in an over in IPL 2025
Vaibhav made 30 runs in an over against Karim Janat, which included three sixes and three fours. With this, Vaibhav registered the most runs in an over by a batter in the ongoing season.
Record-breaking opening partnership
Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal made a 166-run first-wicket partnership in just 11.5 overs, establishing the highest partnership for any wicket in RR’s IPL history. The previous record was registered by Jos Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal with a 155-run stand in 2022.
Powerplay dominance
Jaiswal and Suryavanshi started RR’s chase for 210 runs on an explosive note. They posted a score of 87/0 in the powerplay, setting a new record. It was Royal’s highest powerplay score in the history of the league.
Fastest fifty
Suryavanshi also became the batter to score the fastest fifty in IPL 2025 in just 17 balls. He shattered Riyan Parag’s record for the youngest player to hit a half-century in the IPL.
