Vaibhav Suryavanshi Outshines 58 IPL Centurions to Become Number 1 for Boundary Percentage

It’s clear now—there’s no one quite like Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The 14-year-old sensation has made headlines by outperforming 58 of the world’s best IPL century-makers to claim a remarkable record. But what exactly is this feat, and where did it happen? The answer lies in the IPL 2025 season.

The Exclusive Club of 58 IPL Centurions

So far, 58 batsmen have scored centuries in the IPL, creating memorable moments with their big innings. Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s name now stands out among this elite group—but not for the fastest century or the highest score. His achievement is something different and unique.

The Record: Highest Boundary Percentage in an IPL Century

Vaibhav’s record is all about boundaries. During his explosive century against Gujarat Titans, he scored 101 runs off just 38 balls at a blistering strike rate of 265.78. Out of these runs, 7 fours and 11 sixes accounted for 94 runs—meaning 93% of his runs came from boundaries. This boundary percentage is the highest ever recorded for an IPL century.

Breaking Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Record

Vaibhav surpassed the previous record held by his teammate and opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 90% of his runs from boundaries during his IPL 2023 century against Mumbai Indians.
