Professional cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi has crossed the 1 million follower mark on Instagram, gaining over 700,000 new followers in just a few days. The rapid surge in popularity came after his record-setting performance for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.<\/p>\n
Playing at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the 14-year-old batter scored a 35-ball century while chasing a 210-run target, marking the second-fastest hundred in IPL history<\/strong>, just behind Chris Gayle\u2019s 30-ball hundred in 2013. His innings included 11 sixes and several boundaries<\/strong>, with one over against Karim Janat yielding 30 runs \u2014 the most expensive over of Janat\u2019s IPL career.<\/p>\n Suryavanshi reached his century by pulling Rashid Khan over mid-wicket in the 11th over, prompting a standing ovation from the Jaipur crowd. In a moment that stood out, former India coach Rahul Dravid was seen rising from his seat to applaud.<\/p>\n Youngest player to score a T20 hundred<\/strong> at 14 years and 32 days<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Second-fastest IPL century<\/strong>: 35 balls<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fastest fifty in IPL 2025<\/strong>: 17 balls<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Most sixes by an Indian in an IPL match (11)<\/strong>, equalling Murali Vijay\u2019s 2010 record<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Rajasthan Royals\u2019 highest-ever partnership<\/strong>: 166 runs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n RR\u2019s highest Powerplay total<\/strong>: 87\/0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Following this performance, his verified Instagram account @vaibhav_sooryavanshi09 \u2014 which lists both @rajasthanroyals and @indiancricketteam \u2014 witnessed a sharp rise in follower count, reaching 1 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Professional cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi has crossed the 1 million follower mark on Instagram, gaining over 700,000 new followers in just\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":42532,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3984],"class_list":["post-22272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-vaibhav-suryavanshi"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22272\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Key milestones from the innings:<\/h3>\n
