Suryavanshi's ton keeps Rajasthan alive with 8-wicket Gujarat romp

Suryavanshi’s ton is also the second fastest century in the tournament, behind only Chris Gayle who did it in 30 deliveries, and the fastest century by an Indian, surpassing Yusuf Pathan’s record of 37 deliveries

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's historic century, alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal's unbeaten 70 saw Rajasthan Royals (RR) register an emphatic eight-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans (GT), in match 47, of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Monday.

The home side scored 212/2 in 15.5 overs and heavily boosted their net-run-rate as they won with 25 balls to spare.

Suryavanshi's IOI-run innings, which saw him smash II massive sixes and seven boundaries, saw him surpassed Manish Pandey (19y 253d), Rishabh Pant (20y 218 d) and Devdutt Padikkal (20y 289d) to shatter the record of the youngest centurion in tournament history as he did it at the age of 14 years 32 days. It is also the second fastest century in the tournament, behind only Chris Gayle who did it in 30 deliveries, and the fastest century by an Indian, surpassing Yusuf Pathan's record of 37 deliveries.

It seemed Gujarat were on top in the game given the brilliant 84-run innings by Shubman Gill with a half-century by Jos Buttler perfectly complimenting the 39-run quick-start set by Sai Sudharsan in the first innings to rack a total of 209/4.
