Rajasthan Royals had snapped him up for Rs 1.1 crore ahead of IPL 2025, and although his first stint offered only glimpses of his talent, his rise in India U19 helped him earn a spot in the RR playing group from the start of IPL 2026. The teenager then made the season his own, finishing with 776 runs across 16 matches while setting several landmark records along the way.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Sooryavanshi struck 72 sixes in IPL 2026, the most maximums by any batter in a single tournament season.<\/li>\n<li>He reached 1,000 IPL runs in 440 deliveries, making him the fastest to the mark by balls faced.<\/li>\n<li>His 776-run haul crowned him as the top scorer among uncapped players in IPL history.<\/li>\n<li>521 of his 776 runs came during the powerplay overs, including a first-ever 500+ powerplay total in one IPL edition.<\/li>\n<li>He became the only player in IPL history to hit four sixes in the opening over of an innings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>72 sixes: a new benchmark for one-season hitting<\/h2>\n<p>Vaibhav Sooryavanshi closed out IPL 2026 with 72 sixes, establishing himself as the batter with the highest number of maximums in a single season. In doing so, he eclipsed Chris Gayle\u2019s earlier mark of 59 sixes set in IPL 2012, moving ahead by a clear margin.<\/p>\n<h2>Record speed to 1,000 IPL runs<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the volume of runs, the teenager also rewrote the record book for speed. Sooryavanshi became the quickest player to reach 1,000 IPL runs when measured by balls faced, taking just 440 deliveries to hit the milestone. He finished well ahead of the previous benchmark held by Andre Russell, who had achieved the same feat in 545 balls.<\/p>\n<h2>Top scoring among uncapped players<\/h2>\n<p>Sooryavanshi also went past a notable Rajasthan Royals standard set by a senior teammate. The left-hander broke the record previously held by Yashasvi Jaiswal, another RR opener, for the most runs by an uncapped player. Sooryavanshi\u2019s final tally of 776 runs surpassed Jaiswal\u2019s earlier high of 625 runs for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2023.<\/p>\n<h2>Powerplay dominance in a 500-run surge<\/h2>\n<p>One of the defining features of Sooryavanshi\u2019s season was his powerplay output. Out of his 776 runs, 521 were scored in the first six overs of matches, taking him to the first-ever 500-or-more powerplay run total in a single IPL edition. In addition, he overtook David Warner, who had previously held the record for powerplay runs in an IPL season with 467 during IPL 2016 while representing Sunrisers Hyderabad.<\/p>\n<h2>A rare feat: four sixes in the first over<\/h2>\n<p>Sooryavanshi\u2019s list of achievements also includes a unique IPL-only moment. He became the first and only player in the league\u2019s history to smash four sixes in the first over of an innings. The feat came in IPL 2026 when he struck Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowler Praful Hinge for consecutive sixes during a match held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian Premier League 2026 delivered a major breakthrough for 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, with the left-handed batter quickly turning
