Vaibhav Suryavanshi gave a great start against Punjab Kings by scoring 43 runs in 16 balls. He hit 5 sixes in this innings. With this, he is just one step away from Kieron Pollard’s record of fastest 100 sixes.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi once again caught everyone’s attention with his aggressive style. This 15 year old young player of Rajasthan Royals has made a habit of giving fast starts to his team. While chasing the target of 223 runs against Punjab Kings, he scored 43 runs in just 16 balls. His innings included 5 sixes and 3 fours. Even though Suryavanshi missed his half-century in this match, a record of West Indies’ ace player Kieron Pollard is still in danger.
Eye on T20 record: Just one step away from 100 sixes
Suryavanshi has taken steps towards achieving big heights in her short career. He has hit 99 sixes in 511 balls in 27 innings. The record for hitting the fastest 100 sixes in T20 cricket is in the name of Kieron Pollard, who achieved this feat in 843 balls. Now the question is when will Suryavanshi break this record. It is believed that this record of Pollard will be destroyed in the next match.
Punjab Kings’ big score
Batting first, Punjab Kings scored 222 runs for 4 wickets. The top batsmen of the team gave a fast start, but could not play big innings. Prabhsimran Singh scored 59 runs in 44 balls. Whereas, Priyansh Arya contributed 29 runs in 11 balls, while Cooper Conley contributed 30 runs in 14 balls. In this match, while on one hand Suryavanshi impressed with his stormy batting, on the other hand Stoinis’ explosive innings took Punjab to a strong score.
RR’s weak bowling in the last overs
Rajasthan Royals bowlers failed to maintain pressure in the last overs. RR bowlers gave 55 runs in the last 3 overs. Gave away 24 runs in the last over itself. Brijesh Sharma’s (4 overs, 0/42) slower ball strategy backfired. Thanks to this, Punjab Kings batsmen scored 222 runs in 20 overs.
