15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continues to make history in world cricket. The Rajasthan Royals sensation broke yet another record during IPL 2026 clash against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur on Saturday.
Chasing 230, Vaibhav once again displayed fearless batting and took apart the Gujarat Titans pacers on the way to another scintillating knock.
The teenage prodigy was only one six away from completing 100 career sixes in T20 cricket before the game began. He brought up his century of sixes in style, clearing the stands against Mohammed Siraj for a massive six off the very first delivery of Rajasthan Royals' innings.
Vaibhav Becomes Fastest Batter To 100 Sixes in T20 Cricket
Against Siraj, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi rewrote the history books by becoming the fastest to have scored 100 sixes in T20 cricket, by number of balls faced.
He brought up the milestone in just 514 balls and comfortably smashed the previous world record holder to smithereens.

Vaibhav also broke another IPL record in the same innings. Two sixes from Rabada had him become the player with most sixes in powerplay in a single IPL season:

Finally, Vaibhav struck 36 from 16 balls with 3 fours and 3 sixes before being dismissed by a quick short ball from Siraj.
