14-Year-Old Suryavanshi Becomes Youngest To Hit T20 Ton
Indian batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi on Monday became the youngest to hit a senior T20 century at 14 years and 32 days as he powered Rajasthan Royals' successful chase against Gujarat Titans in the IPL.
Suryavanshi (14y 32d) surpassed Manish Pandey (19y 253d), Rishabh Pant ( 20y 218 d) and Devdutt Padikkal ( 20y 289d) to shatter the record.
Suryavanshi went past the previous record, set by Vijay Zol of Maharashtra at 18 years and 118 days against Mumbai in an Indian domestic match in 2013. It is also the fastest century by an Indian, surpassing Yusuf Pathan's record of 37 deliveries
Suryavanshi's ton is the second fastest in the popular T20 tournament, after Chris Gayle's century in 30 balls for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2013.
