Cricket analysis

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is rewriting IPL history at just 15 years old. Today, he broke Chris Gayle’s 14-year-old record for the most sixes in a single IPL season, and at the same time equalled another unbelievable record for the most innings with 10 or more sixes in IPL history.

What makes it even crazier is the speed at which he has achieved it. Vaibhav has already recorded four innings with 10-plus sixes in just 22 IPL innings, matching Chris Gayle’s tally that came across 141 innings. The fearless power-hitting, consistency, and dominance from a teenager are simply unreal and unlike anything the IPL has witnessed before.

Nobody noticed that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi touched the feet of Sunil Gavaskar and Sanjay Bangar before the Eliminator clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals. Despite the fame, records, and massive attention surrounding him at just 15 years old, Vaibhav showed humility and respect towards the legends of the game with a beautiful gesture that won hearts across the cricket world.

Later in the match, Vaibhav delivered a breathtaking innings of 97 runs off just 29 balls and won the Player of the Match award. From his fearless batting to his grounded personality, the young star continues to impress both on and off the field.

Rajasthan Royals took a bold gamble when Rahul Dravid and the team management secured 13-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for Rs. 1.10 crore at the auction. While many questioned investing heavily in such a young player, Dravid trusted the talent he witnessed during trials at the Royals’ high-performance center and backed a future superstar before the world noticed him.

That one visionary decision has now completely changed the future of Rajasthan Royals. Vaibhav quickly proved his worth by becoming the Super Striker of IPL 2025 and has already emerged as one of the biggest stars of IPL 2026. Rajasthan Royals are now enjoying the rewards of identifying a generational talent early.
