The two superlatives that best capture the heroics of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the 2026 Indian Premier League are “fastest” and “youngest”.
His profile on the official IPL website highlights a string of record-breaking feats.
After becoming the youngest debutant in the league’s history last season, he blasted 101 off 38 balls against the Gujarat Titans to become the youngest centurion in men’s T20 cricket.
The hundred came in just 35 deliveries, making it the second-fastest century in IPL history.
Not only did he score the fastest century of the season, but his 15-ball half-century was also the second-fastest fifty of the just-concluded season.
