Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has announced a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi who scored record breaking century in the IPL 2025 on Monday.

The 14-year-old Bihar batter, playing for Rajasthan Royals, shattered the long-standing record for the fastest IPL century by an Indian, surpassing Yusuf Pathan’s 37-ball ton against Mumbai Indians in 2010 that had remained unbeaten for 15 years until Monday night.

In only his third IPL appearance, Suryavanshi hammered a sensational 101 off just 38 balls against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur, bringing up his century in just 35 deliveries – the fastest ever by an Indian in IPL history and the second-fastest overall, behind Chris Gayle’s legendary 30-ball century.
