14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Breaks SMAT Record, Becomes Youngest Centurion in Tournament History

Rising cricket sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, just 14 years old, has created history once again. The young Rajasthan Royals prodigy smashed a brilliant century for Bihar against Maharashtra in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2025, becoming the youngest-ever player to hit a century in the tournament’s history.

Dominant knock under pressure

Batting first, Bihar found themselves struggling at 31/2. Taking responsibility early, Vaibhav shifted gears and played a mature, controlled innings far beyond his age. Known for quick starts but sometimes losing wickets early, the youngster appeared more composed this time, determined to bat deep.

His final score:

• 108 off 61 balls*
• 7 fours & 7 sixes

While the rest of the Bihar batting lineup managed only 62 runs combined, Vaibhav single-handedly led the team to a competitive 176.

A historic milestone

With this knock:

• Vaibhav becomes the youngest SMAT centurion ever.
• It is his third T20 century of the year 2025.
• He already has tons in the IPL and the Rising Stars Asia Cup.
• He is now the youngest cricketer in world cricket to score three T20 centuries.

This performance further cements his status as one of the most promising young talents in Indian cricket.
