The 15-year-old is just two maximums away from becoming the Indian with the most sixes in a single IPL campaign. The mark currently stands at 42, set by Sunrisers Hyderabad\u2019s Abhishek Sharma. Sooryavanshi moved to 40 for the season after striking three sixes in the Rajasthan Royals (RR) match against the Gujarat Titans (GT) on Saturday, a knock that also lifted him past several big names, including Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, and Rishabh Pant.<\/p>\n<p>Most sixes in an IPL season by Indians:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>42 &#8211; Abhishek Sharma (2024)<\/li>\n<li>40 &#8211; Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (2026)<\/li>\n<li>39 &#8211; Shreyas Iyer (2025)<\/li>\n<li>38 &#8211; Virat Kohli (2016)<\/li>\n<li>38 &#8211; Virat Kohli (2024)<\/li>\n<li>38 &#8211; Suryakumar Yadav (2025)<\/li>\n<li>37 &#8211; Rishabh Pant (2018)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s fireworks didn\u2019t stop with the IPL tally. Sooryavanshi also broke a global benchmark for power-hitting, launching a first-ball six off Mohammed Siraj to become the fastest batter to reach 100 T20 sixes. He reached the \u201ccentury\u201d of sixes in only 514 deliveries, and he did so as the youngest player to achieve the landmark.<\/p>\n<p>In the same appearance, Sooryavanshi struck 36 off 16 balls, packing his effort with three sixes and three fours. Notably, every one of his three sixes arrived during the powerplay, underlining his reputation for attacking from the outset. With that burst, he also set the IPL-season record for the most sixes hit in the powerplay.<\/p>\n<p>Sooryavanshi\u2019s overall output has been just as striking in IPL 2026. He is currently the fifth-highest run-scorer in the tournament, having piled up 440 runs across 11 matches at an average of 140, with a strike rate above 236. The RR opener has already produced one century and two half-centuries this season, adding weight to a campaign that is gathering momentum week by week.<\/p>\n<p>Former cricketer Aditya Tare highlighted the fearless nature of his style. \u201cVaibhav Sooryavanshi\u2019s batting approach is high-risk, especially in the powerplay. He will sometimes get out going for big shots but that\u2019s his natural game. He doesn\u2019t let pressure build. He attacks from the very first ball. That\u2019s what makes him who he is,\u201d Tare said.<\/p>\n<p>Tare also pointed to a specific innings as a blueprint for what comes next. \u201cHe scored a century against Gujarat Titans last season in Jaipur. That\u2019s the kind of innings he needs to remember. Hopefully, he can extend those batting spells and spend more time in the middle. It is phenomenal to watch him take on the best bowlers in the league during the Powerplay,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is closing in on an IPL milestone that could rewrite the record books.
