Suryavanshi’s Quick IPL In his third IPL 2025 match, Ton witnessed Vaibhav Suryavanshi blast to a century off of 35 balls, putting him just behind Chris Gayle as the fastest IPL century hitter. His jaw-dropping knock changed the teenager’s expectations. The six fastest IPL centuries, which highlight Vaibhav’s explosive batting among legends, are listed below.
Chris Gayle – 30 balls
175* vs Pune Warriors, Bengaluru, 2013
At M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Chris Gayle broke T20 records with an undefeated 175. The highest individual score in the format and a 30-ball century that remains the fastest in the IPL after 12 years, solidifying Gayle’s record-breaking knock. Following a cautious start, he reached a 17-ball fifty by smashing 21 off Ishwar Pandey and 28 off Mitchell Marsh. The outburst was fueled by Aaron Finch’s 29-run over, with Gayle hitting his century in the ninth over. He hit 98 boundaries in his first 103 runs. It was an incredible day, and he ended it with two wickets.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi – 35 balls 101 vs Gujarat Titans, Jaipur, 2025
Vaibhav Suryavanshi made history with Suryavanshi’s Rapid IPL Ton, smashing a star-studded attack of Rashid Khan, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna for the second-fastest IPL century after opening with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Rajasthan Royals’ chase of 210. After hitting 11 sixes and seven fours, he was dismissed by Prasidh’s yorker, leaving RR in need of 44 off 49 balls. He hit three sixes and three fours off Karim Janat’s debut over before reaching a 17-ball fifty, which included 26 off an Ishant over. Vaibhav’s explosive batting was demonstrated when he sealed his century with a final six off Rashid.
Yusuf Pathan – 37 balls
100 vs Mumbai Indians (MI), Brabourne, 2010
When the Rajasthan Royals needed 143 off 57 balls to chase the Mumbai Indians’ 212, Yusuf Pathan came into his own. He embodied Pathan’s Blazing Innings by smashing 54 off his next 11 balls, including three straight sixes off Ali Murtaza and 24 off R Sathish. He hit a huge six to reach his then-record fastest IPL century, but RR was left 40 short with 17 balls remaining after a run-out next ball which is a difficult task. According to captain Shane Warne, it was the best innings he had ever witnessed.
David Miller – 38 balls
101* vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Mohali, 2013
Kings XI Punjab was rescued from 64/4 by David Miller’s 38-ball century, which fueled an incredible 191-run chase with 99 runs in the final five overs, demonstrating Miller’s clutch performance. He hit boundaries off Vinay Kumar to start, then hammered 26 off RP Singh’s over. He hit a length ball over the sightscreen for his century when Miller was on 95 and he needed three runs. Miller cited his father when he stated, “If it’s in the V, it’s in the tree.” It’s really bad if it’s in the arc.
Travis Head – 39 balls
102 vs RCB, Bengaluru, 2024
After an earlier IPL 2025 blitz of 277 runs, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Travis Head outperformed themselves in Bengaluru. Head’s Powerhouse Century was fueled by his powerplay assault, which sent SRH to 76/0 and a fifty. He left SRH at 165 after being dismissed in the 13th over for a 41-ball 102, helping them reach a record-breaking 287, the highest IPL total, and solidifying his status as one of the Fastest IPL Centuries.
Priyansh Arya – 39 balls
103 vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Mullanpur, 2025
Priyansh Arya, 24, who was signed by the Punjab Kings for INR 3.8 crore, demonstrated his value against CSK by launching a first-ball six that embodied his breakthrough ton. He smashed Matheesha Pathirana for three straight sixes and a four, racing to his first IPL century in the 13th over and adding his fearless style to the exclusive list of Fastest IPL Centuries. He was unfazed by the wickets falling.
