Indian cricket’s newest teenage sensation, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, has once again stunned the cricket world with a record-breaking performance. Playing for India A in the Rising Stars Asia Cup 2025 in Doha, the left-handed opener hammered a sensational 144 runs off just 42 balls, guiding his team to a massive 148-run win over UAE.
This extraordinary knock has now placed Vaibhav among the most exciting young batters in modern cricket — and more importantly, earned him a world record that no player has ever achieved before.
Only Player in World Cricket With Two T20 Hundreds Under 35 Balls
With his 32-ball century against UAE, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become the first and only player in world cricket to score two T20 hundreds in 35 balls or fewer.

- His first came in IPL 2025 (35 balls vs Gujarat Titans).
- His second — even quicker — arrived on Friday in Doha (32 balls vs UAE).
Not even T20 giants like Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, or David Warner have managed this rare double.
Vaibhav opened the innings with fearless intent and never looked back. His innings included:
- 11 fours
- 15 towering sixes
- 342.85 strike rate, one of the highest ever recorded for a 100+ score
Out of his 144 runs, 134 came in boundaries, making it one of the most boundary-dominated innings in Indian T20 history.

Despite his explosive batting, Vaibhav impressed fans with his maturity and calmness in the post-match interview.
He said he hardly gets “disturbed” on the field — a discipline he credits to his father’s strict training since childhood. His remarkable temperament at such a young age has drawn praise across social media, with many calling him India’s “next big superstar.”
Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. At just 14, he is rewriting T20 record books and showcasing rare maturity both on and off the field. If this is just the beginning, Indian cricket may be witnessing the birth of a once-in-a-generation talent.
