Chris Gayle's 175* – The Greatest IPL Innings
On April 23, 2013, Chris Gayle produced the most destructive innings in IPL history. His 175 not out off 66 balls for RCB against Pune Warriors India included 13 fours and a record 17 sixes. He reached his century in just 30 balls – a record that stood for over a decade.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi – The Youngest Centurion
At just 14 years old, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi shattered records in IPL 2025 with a 35-ball century for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans. He became the youngest player to score an IPL century and the second-fastest centurion in tournament history. Heading into IPL 2026, Sooryavanshi is one of the most exciting young talents in cricket.
Can the Record Be Broken in IPL 2026?
With modern batting approaches becoming increasingly aggressive and IPL venues offering flat pitches, a sub-30-ball century is no longer unthinkable. Players like Heinrich Klaasen, Andre Russell, and Sooryavanshi have the raw power to challenge Gayle's iconic record.
