Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Misses Out on Setting a World Record in T20: In the 43rd match of IPL 2026, Rajasthan Royals' young sensation, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, narrowly missed out on making history. During the match against Delhi, Vaibhav struck a four off Jamieson on the very first delivery.
However, what transpired on the very next delivery left the fans disappointed. Kyle Jamieson dismissed him with a lethal yorker, bowling him out and sending him back to the pavilion. It was a delivery for which Vaibhav appeared completely unprepared.

Missed Out on a World Record by a Single Six
The world record for the fastest 100 sixes in T20 cricket—measured by the number of deliveries faced—was previously held by former West Indies legend Kieron Pollard, who achieved this feat in 843 balls. Vaibhav has now faced 513 balls and has struck 99 sixes.
Kyle Jamieson's Celebration Goes Viral
Kyle Jamieson delivered a magnificent yorker right on the line of the third stump. Vaibhav attempted to bring his bat down in time, but the ball took a faint edge off the bat and crashed into the stumps. Vaibhav Suryavanshi was dismissed after scoring just four runs. Following the dismissal, Kyle Jamieson's joy knew no bounds. While Jamieson celebrated the wicket with a round of applause, Vaibhav Suryavanshi was seen walking back to the pavilion, visibly disappointed.
Speaking of the match itself, Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag won the toss and elected to bat first against the Delhi Capitals.
Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc is all set to play his first match of the season for the Delhi Capitals, having successfully recovered from a shoulder injury. For the host team, wrist spinner Ravi Bishnoi has made a comeback to the squad, replacing Yash Raj Punja.
Vaibhav Meditates at the Crease Before Matches
Notably, fans are really appreciating a particular habit of Vaibhav Suryavanshi. In fact, before every match, Vaibhav walks out to the crease, sits down, and meditates for a short while. He follows this routine before every single match.
Delhi Capitals Playing XI: KL Rahul (Wicketkeeper), Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (Captain), Ashutosh Sharma, Kyle Jamieson, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, and T. Natarajan.
Rajasthan Royals Playing XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel (Wicketkeeper), Riyan Parag (Captain), Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Shubham Dubey, Jofra Archer, Ravi Bishnoi, Nandre Burger, and Brajesh Sharma.
