Vaibhav Suryavanshi has stunned everyone with his explosive batting in IPL 2026. At just 15 years of age, he has set records that many veterans have not achieved in their entire careers.

In the eliminator match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Vaibhav scored a blistering 97 runs off just 29 balls, hitting 12 sixes, leading Rajasthan Royals to a spectacular victory. His innings broke several old records. Suryavanshi now has the opportunity to break Chris Gayle's significant record, as he prepares to face Gayle's record of 100 sixes in IPL.

The IPL 2026 Qualifier-2 match will be played between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals at Mullanpur Stadium in New Chandigarh. If Vaibhav manages to hit 11 sixes in this match, he will become the batsman to reach 100 sixes in the fewest innings in IPL history. Currently, this record is held by Chris Gayle, who achieved this feat in 37 innings.

Vaibhav has already hit 89 sixes in 22 innings across 22 matches in IPL, scoring 932 runs with an average of over 42. His batting style at such a young age has impressed cricket experts. Notably, Vaibhav remains unfazed under pressure while playing big shots and plays a crucial role in giving the team a quick start.

In addition to breaking Gayle's record, Vaibhav has another significant achievement within reach. The record for the fastest 100 sixes in IPL is currently held by Andre Russell, who accomplished this in 657 balls, while Vaibhav has faced only 402 balls so far. Furthermore, if he scores 68 runs in Qualifier-2, he will also complete 1000 runs in IPL, placing him jointly in second place for the fewest innings to reach 1000 runs.

Dharamshala, May 28. In the second eliminator match of IPL 2026, Vaibhav Suryavanshi's explosive innings thrilled the audience.

Playing at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, Vaibhav scored a stunning 97 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) while opening the innings for Rajasthan Royals (RR). After the RR innings, Vaibhav mentioned that he was aware it was a knockout game and a big match. However, all the coaches had advised him to stick to what he practiced, enjoy the game, and not feel the pressure of the match.

Vaibhav missed out on breaking Chris Gayle's record for the fastest century. In response, he stated that he played that shot looking at the fielder, which is why he mistimed it. If he had aimed for the third man, it would have cleared easily.

However, he tried to hit it straight, which led to his shot missing. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, opening for Rajasthan Royals, scored 97 runs off just 29 balls, hitting 12 sixes and 5 fours. He narrowly missed setting the record for the fastest century in IPL history, which is held by Chris Gayle, who scored a century in just 30 balls in 2013.

Despite this, Vaibhav broke Chris Gayle's record for the most sixes in a season. Following Vaibhav's innings, there have been 65 sixes in IPL 2026. Chris Gayle had hit 59 sixes in IPL 2012.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi was out as the first wicket after scoring 97 runs, with RR's score at 125 runs in 8 overs. After that, SRH's bowlers made a comeback, restricting RR to 243 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs. RR could only manage 36 runs in the last 5 overs and just 5 runs in the final over.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi is on the verge of making history in international cricket. The selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, is seriously considering including him in the senior team for the upcoming Ireland tour in June, based on his explosive performance in IPL 2026.

If Vaibhav makes his debut on this tour, he will break the historic record of Sachin Tendulkar, who debuted at the age of 16, becoming India's youngest international player. According to BCCI sources, the selectors want to test this talented batsman from Rajasthan Royals directly in the senior team. Vaibhav first came into the limelight when Rajasthan Royals bought him for 1.1 crore rupees in the IPL 2025 auction.

He showcased his aggressive batting by scoring a century in just 35 balls against Gujarat Titans. Additionally, his incredible innings of 175 runs off 80 balls in the Under-19 World Cup final against England brought him global attention overnight. Given his consistency and talent, IPL chairman Arun Dhumal has also stated that he deserves to debut for India at a young age.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has a clear strategy to test Vaibhav's skills under international pressure against a team like Ireland. The selectors believe that Vaibhav's batting style is suited for modern T20 cricket, and providing him experience instead of making him wait will be beneficial for the team's future. As per agency report, Vaibhav has been shortlisted, and if he meets fitness standards, he could be seen batting in the blue jersey in the upcoming series.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a young batsman from Rajasthan Royals, stunned the cricket world with a blistering 78 runs off just 26 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). In this innings, he hit 8 fours and 7 sixes, fearlessly playing shots against swing specialist Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Australian star Josh Hazlewood.

Thanks to Vaibhav's aggressive batting and Dhruv Jurel's composed 81 runs, Rajasthan achieved the massive target of 202 runs in just 18 overs. Earlier, in a match against Mumbai Indians, Vaibhav had also showcased his talent by hitting two sixes off the world’s number one bowler Jasprit Bumrah in a single over. After being named 'Player of the Match' for his outstanding performance, Vaibhav shared the secret to his success.

When asked if he felt scared facing such big bowlers, he humbly stated that he tries to focus on playing the ball rather than the bowler's name. Vaibhav mentioned that he relies on his strength and practice. Although he is aware of who the bowler is, once he reaches the crease, his entire focus is on the direction and speed of the ball, which helps him play fearlessly.

Despite scoring 78 runs, Vaibhav appeared slightly disappointed upon getting out, as he wanted to return only after leading his team to victory. He credited his mature thinking to the guidance of his father and local mentor Romi Sir. Vaibhav noted that his coach always reminds him that the journey is long and he should focus solely on his game and discipline.

This sense of responsibility reflects why he has emerged as one of the most talked-about young players in this season of IPL. Rajasthan's victory has further strengthened their position in the points table.

Patna, May 30 – Prime Minister Narendra Modi met young cricket sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi on Friday during his visit to Bihar. Suryavanshi, who recently made headlines by becoming the youngest player to score a century in the Indian Premier League (IPL), hails from Samastipur district in Bihar and turned 14 in March this year.

As per agency report, the meeting took place at the Patna airport, where the Prime Minister was welcomed for his two-day tour of the state. Photographs of the encounter were shared by the Prime Minister on his official social media handle, capturing the moment he interacted with the promising athlete and his family.

During the brief exchange, Prime Minister Modi acknowledged the young cricketer’s rising fame and lauded his cricketing skills, which have earned admiration from across the country. He extended his best wishes to Suryavanshi for his future in the sport, expressing confidence that the young talent would continue to make the nation proud.

The meeting has been widely seen as a gesture of encouragement for budding sportspersons in the country and a celebration of the spirit of youth achievement in Indian sports.

Jaipur, April 29 – While the cricketing world is in awe of his fearless strokeplay, for 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, hitting a six on the first ball is just another normal part of his game. Showing remarkable composure, Suryavanshi seemed unaffected by the magnitude of the occasion as he stunned the IPL with his blistering century against Gujarat Titans.

In just his third IPL match, Suryavanshi scored a sensational 101 runs off 38 balls, smashing 11 sixes and seven fours, becoming the youngest-ever centurion in T20 cricket history. In his debut match against Lucknow Super Giants, he had already made an impression by scoring 34 runs off 20 balls and hitting a six off his very first delivery.

As per agency report, speaking to the IPLT20 website after Rajasthan Royals’ win over Gujarat Titans on Monday night, Suryavanshi said that hitting a six off the first ball felt natural to him. He explained that having played for India’s Under-19 team and at the domestic level, he had already developed the habit of attacking from the start without feeling pressured by the first few deliveries.

He mentioned that although he was facing international bowlers and performing on a big stage, he remained focused solely on his game plan — if the ball was in his hitting zone, he would go for the shot without hesitation.

Born in Samastipur, Bihar, three years after the IPL’s inception, Suryavanshi credited his parents, Sanjeev and Arti, for his achievements. He expressed deep gratitude, revealing how his mother manages with just three hours of sleep daily to support his intense practice routine, and how his father left his job to dedicate himself entirely to nurturing Suryavanshi’s cricketing career. His elder brother now manages the family's responsibilities, allowing Suryavanshi to pursue his dream.

He reflected on their sacrifices, stating that hard work, guided by divine support, never goes unrewarded, and attributed his success to his parents’ unwavering dedication.

Despite being in the spotlight at such a young age, Suryavanshi remains grounded, emphasizing that his ultimate goal is to play for India. He pledged to continue working hard until he reaches the highest level and aspires to perform well for the country in the future.

Jaipur, April 29 – Rajasthan Royals batting coach Vikram Rathour hailed young Vaibhav Suryavanshi as a special talent, expressing confidence that if he maintains his focus, he could serve Indian cricket for many years. Suryavanshi, at just 14 years and 32 days old, became the youngest centurion in Indian Premier League (IPL) history after scoring a blistering 101 runs off 38 balls on Monday.

The left-handed batsman dazzled with a stunning display against seasoned international bowlers such as Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Washington Sundar, and Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan and Karim Janat. Suryavanshi smashed 11 sixes and seven fours, playing a key role in Rajasthan Royals’ eight-wicket victory.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Rathour said that the team had seen glimpses of Suryavanshi’s capabilities in the nets over the past few months. As per agency report, he praised the youngster for delivering such a remarkable performance under pressure against a strong bowling attack in a packed stadium.

Rathour emphasized that Suryavanshi’s technique and shot selection were impressive, and Monday’s innings showcased his immense batting potential. He noted that discovering Suryavanshi four months ago during trials had made it clear that they had found someone special, and the responsibility now lies in nurturing his talent carefully.

He expressed optimism about Suryavanshi’s future, stating that if the youngster continues to work hard and stay grounded, he has the potential to represent India at the highest level for a long time. However, Rathour cautioned against premature comparisons with legends like Sachin Tendulkar, who made his debut for India at the age of 16, calling it inappropriate to burden a young player with such expectations.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans' batsman Sai Sudharsan also praised Suryavanshi’s outstanding knock. He acknowledged that while they had initially thought they had set a challenging total, Suryavanshi’s explosive start and fearless batting proved them wrong and suggested they could have aimed for an even higher score.

Suryavanshi’s incredible performance has not only set a new IPL milestone but has also sparked hopes for the emergence of a future star in Indian cricket.
