Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been setting a benchmark for power-hitting throughout the 2026 campaign, having seamlessly cleared the ropes, irrespective of the opposition or venue. Across 22 IPL matches, the 15-year-old has already smashed 89 sixes, including a record-breaking 65 sixes in the ongoing season of the tournament.
Sooryavanshi is just 11 sixes away from becoming the youngest and fastest to complete 100 maximums in the IPL. Currently, the record for the fastest sixes is held by Chris Gayle in terms of number of innings (37) and Andre Russell in terms of number of balls (657), and Sooryavanshi is well-positioned to potentially shatter both, cementing his legacy as the most prolific boundary-hitter the tournament has ever witnessed.
With 89 IPL sixes already in his pocket, Sooryavanshi is placed to rewrite the record books, needing just 11 maximums to emerge as the youngest and fastest to reach the century mark in the tournament’s history.
