15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored a half-century in 15 balls for Rajasthan Royals against CSK in IPL 2026. He humorously attributed his success to ‘Rajbhog’ and revealed his strategy of playing aggressively in the powerplay.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi Record: Where does so much physical and mental strength come from at just 15 years of age? Everyone is asking this question, because Vaibhav Suryavanshi does not spare any bowler. After making a splash in the last IPL 2025, this year in the very first match of IPL 2026, playing for Rajasthan Royals, he scored a half-century in just 15 balls against Chennai Super Kings.
After the match, he also revealed the secret of his explosive innings. While boarding the team bus, Vaibhav was joking with his teammate Dhruv Jurel. The video of this conversation has gone viral on social media. In the video, Dhruv praises Vaibhav and says, ‘Very well played, man. Once again you have done wonders. Hearing this, Vaibhav smiled and said, ‘After eating Rajbhog today, I went to play the match.’
Did not cut cake on birthday, went to sleep!
Vaibhav recently celebrated his 15th birthday. Vaibhav’s birthday was just three days before the first match of Rajasthan Royals in IPL. But this time he celebrated his birthday simply and did not even cut the cake. Regarding this, Vaibhav said, ‘I did not do anything special on my birthday. The cake had to be cut, but I went to sleep early so that no one would put cake on my face.

The plan was to score more runs in the powerplay itself.
Regarding his batting, Vaibhav said, ‘Our plan was to take full advantage of the powerplay. Initially the wicket was a bit slow and the ball was not coming on the bat properly. But as the ball got older, it started coming on the bat better. I think about defence, but today our plan was to control the match in the power play itself. Because when you are chasing small targets, powerplay becomes very important. If the bowling team performs well at that time, the match can go in their favor. But we played brilliantly in the powerplay. Vaibhav wants to bat in the same style in the next match also.
