The 14-year-old Bihar batter, playing for Rajasthan Royals, shattered the long-standing record for the fastest IPL century by an Indian, surpassing Yusuf Pathan's 37-ball ton against Mumbai Indians in 2010 that had remained unbeaten for 15 years until Monday night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In only his third IPL appearance, Suryavanshi hammered a sensational 101 off just 38 balls against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur, bringing up his century in just 35 deliveries - the fastest ever by an Indian in IPL history and the second-fastest overall, behind Chris Gayle\u2019s legendary 30-ball century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Congratulations and best wishes to Vaibhav Suryavanshi of Bihar, who became the youngest player (14 years) to score a century in the history of IPL. He has become a new hope for Indian cricket on the strength of his hard work and talent. Everyone is proud of him. I met Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his father in 2024 at 1 Anne Marg and at that time I wished him a bright future,\" CM Nitish posted on X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nitish further revealed that he spoke with the teenager over phone after his historic knock and extended his best wishes to the youngster.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"After his brilliant performance in IPL, I also congratulated him over the phone. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a young cricketer from Bihar, will also be given an honorarium of Rs 10 lakh by the state government. I wish that Vaibhav creates new records for the Indian team in the future and brings glory to the country,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
