MENSXP April 29, 2025 09:39 PM

The IPL is in its 18th season and is no stranger to quickfire centuries. Over the years, batters have broken several barriers and scored hundreds in quick time. But in many of these cases, age has also been on the side of the batters. Some of them are really young. These players breached the century mark early and etched their place in IPL history.

Indians dominate this list as nine out of the top 10 batters are from India. There is just one foreigner. In fact, one player’s name features twice as he is the fifth and sixth youngest. But all of them deserve to be on this list without a doubt.

The list is never going to remain the same because more records will be broken. Some new players will always break into the top 10 sooner or later. But the odds of anyone taking top spot are bleak at the moment. Only two players on the list achieved the feat as teenagers while the rest were all in their early 20s. One of the players did it as a minor meaning he was below 18. In fact, that kid has the top spot.

So who are the 10 youngest centurions in IPL history? Let’s have a look at this elite list:

1. Vaibhav Suryavanshi

Vaibhav broke all records to become the youngest centurion ever at 14 years and 32 days. In 2025 he slammed 101 from 38 balls vs GT for RR. His 35-ball century is also the fastest by an Indian and the second-fastest ever.

2. Manish Pandey

Manish was the first Indian to score a century in the tournament and he was 19 years and 253 days old. In 2009 he hit 114 not out in 73 balls vs DC for RCB. For 16 years, he was the youngest centurion in the competition.

3. Rishabh Pant

Pant makes it to the top three as he was 20 years and 218 days old when he breached the 100-mark. The southpaw made 128 not out from 63 vs SRH for DD in 2018.

4. Devdutt Padikkal

At 20 years and 289 days Padikkal hit his maiden IPL ton. He made an unbeaten 101 in a mere 52 balls while representing RCB against RR in 2021.

5. Yashasvi Jaiswal

RR’s left-handed explosive opener Jaiswal slammed a 62-ball 124 vs MI in 2023. He was 21 years and 123 days old the day he hit that century.

6. Yashasvi Jaiswal

Jaiswal once again finds a place on the list thanks to a 60-ball 104 not out vs MI in 2024. He was 22 years and 116 days old.

7. Sanju Samson

While representing DD in 2017, Samson took RPS to the cleaners with 102 from 63. He was 22 years and 151 days old at that time.

8. Sai Sudharsan

CSK felt the might of Sai’s willow in 2024 when he hit 103 from only 51 deliveries while opening for GT. The young man was just 22 years and 208 days old.

9. Prabhsimran Singh

PBKS’ Prabhsimran was the thorn in the flesh for DC’s bowlers in 2023 when he made a 65-ball 103. He was 22 years and 276 days old back then.

10. Quinton de Kock

De Kock makes it to the top 10 and he is the only non-Indian player on the list. At 23 years and 122 days old, the DD batter made 108 from 51 vs RCB in 2016.
