Rajasthan Royals’ teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to set the cricket world on fire with his fearless batting in IPL 2026.

The young opener played a blistering knock of 36 runs off just 16 balls against Gujarat Titans, smashing three sixes and three boundaries. His aggressive innings began with a huge six off Mohammed Siraj on the very first ball he faced.
With this performance, Vaibhav also became the batter with the most sixes in the powerplay during a single IPL season. He now has 30 powerplay sixes in IPL 2026, surpassing Abhishek Sharma’s previous record of 29 sixes set in the 2024 season.
