As Vaibhav Sooryavanshi crossed the 600-run mark for the first time in a single IPL season, the young batter achieved a unique feat that no other player had ever accomplished in the history of the cash-rich T20 league in the world.
24 batters, including the likes of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, David Warner, and KL Rahul, had previously scored 600+ runs in an IPL season, but none combined it with a 200+ strike rate. However, the 15-year-old prodigy, the 25th to reach the 600-run mark, has redefined aggressive batting with a historic IPL 2026 season at a strike rate above 200 throughout his campaign.
Earlier, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi achieved the feat of becoming the second batter after former KKR all-rounder Andre Russell to amass 500 runs with a strike rate of 200 and above.
