In a remarkable display of talent, 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi of the Rajasthan Royals scored his second Indian Premier League (IPL) century in just 36 balls during a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. His innings included a staggering 12 sixes and five fours, achieving a strike rate of 278.38. This performance not only marked him as the first player in IPL history to score two centuries in under 40 balls but also made him the fastest to reach 1000 IPL runs in just 473 deliveries, surpassing notable players like Mitchell Owen and Andrew Symonds. The Rajasthan Royals finished their innings at 228/6, with Sooryavanshi's contribution being pivotal in setting a challenging target for Sunrisers Hyderabad, who also aimed for their fifth win of the season. His previous IPL century was a 35-ball effort against Gujarat Titans in 2025. Sooryavanshi's exceptional performance has drawn comparisons to cricket legend Chris Gayle, who previously held records for fast centuries in the IPL.
