Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on Saturday scored a hundred in just 36 balls during the IPL 2026 match between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur.

This was the third-fastest century in the IPL. Sooryavanshi also holds the record for the second-fastest ton in the tournament, which came in 35 balls against Gujarat Titans last season. Chris Gayle holds the record for the fastest ton, scoring it in 30 balls against Pune Warriors India in 2013.

Sooryavanshi was dismissed leg before wicket to Sakib Hussain just one ball after reaching the three-digit mark. During his 37-ball 103-run innings, Sooryavanshi also became the youngest player to tally 1,000 runs in T20 cricket.

By the end of the innings, Sooryavanshi had 357 runs from eight innings at a strike rate of 244 in IPL 2026, making him the leader of the Orange Cap standings.
