Just moments ago 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed a 17-ball fifty, making him the youngest to the landmark not just in the Indian Premier League (IPL), but also in T20 cricket. His day got even better from there as he brought up his century off just 35 deliveries, the second fastest in IPL history.
Only Chris Gayle (30 balls) got to the landmark faster than Suryavanshi. He reached the milestone against Gujarat Titans (GT) on April 28 (Monday) in Jaipur.
30 balls - Chris Gayle vs PWI in 2013
35 balls - Vaibhav Suryavanshi vs GT in 2025
37 balls - Yusuf Pathan vs MI in 2010
39 balls - David Miller vs RCB in 2013
He is not just the youngest to score a half-century in T20s, but is now also the youngest to a T20 ton.
