In a high-intensity Indian Premiere League (IPL) 2025 clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) pulled off a breathtaking chase against Gujarat Titans (GT), after hunting down a target of 210 in under 16 overs to claim their third win of the season on Monday, April 28.

What made the night unforgettable was the phenomenal performance by 14-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who shattered records with a 35-ball century. Opening alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryavanshi delivered a fiery performance, guiding RR to a win with a spectacular century, his first in T20 cricket.

At just 14 years, Suryavanshi became the youngest player in men’s T20 history to score a century. The left-hander accelerated even further after racing to his half-century in just 17 balls, a milestone achieved by a 26-run over off veteran Ishant Sharma.

Suryavanshi went on against GT, hammering 30 runs in a single over off debutant Karim Janat. He scored the fastest century of IPL 2025, reaching the milestone in just 35 balls, the second-fastest in IPL history, just behind Chris Gayle.

Soon after RR’s dominant win over GT, cricket fans flooded X with a wave of hilarious memes. Check out some of the best ones below.

On the other hand, GT’s reliable opening duo, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, got their team off to a strong start. Despite the RR trying different bowling options to break the stand, the left-right pair dominated, hitting boundaries all over the field. They added 53 runs in the powerplay and built a solid 93-run partnership before Sudharsan lost his wicket at 39.
