Now it is the turn to decide which team it will face in the finals. The first stop in this episode is the eliminator match, in which Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals are face to face. Once again in this match, Rajasthan’s young opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi will be in maximum focus, who can touch the figure of 600 runs in this match and can become the youngest batsman to do so.
Vaibhav’s display against Hyderabad
This eliminator match will be played on Wednesday 27th May in New Chandigarh, which is the third match between Sunrisers and Rajasthan this season. Hyderabad had won both the matches of the league stage. In such a situation, this time also Hyderabad is considered to have the upper hand. But regardless of the result of the match, even in this match Vaibhav Suryavanshi Will remain in sight. There is a reason for this because the last two matches were a journey from floor to top for him. In the first match he could not even open his account, whereas in the second time he scored a century in 36 balls.
600 runs at the youngest age
In such a situation, it will be worth seeing what explosion Vaibhav’s bat produces this time or whether anyone succeeds in stopping him. Now if this 15 year old opener plays a stormy innings then some records are sure to be broken again. The first record in this is of 600 runs. Vaibhav has scored 583 runs in 14 innings so far this season and is just 13 runs away from touching the 600 mark. If he does this, he will become the first batsman to score 600 runs in a season of IPL. Apart from this, once he scores 70 runs, he will also become the highest run scoring batsman in this season. At present Sai Sudarshan (652) is at the forefront in this matter.
Will Vaibhav be able to break Gayle’s record?
But the real record is the one, breaking which Vaibhav Suryavanshi will get applause all over the world, there is no doubt about it. This is the record of hitting most sixes in a season. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is playing only his second season, has hit 53 sixes so far in IPL 2026. He has already become the first Indian batsman to hit 50 or more sixes in a season. Now if he hits 7 sixes in the eliminator then the record of Chris Gayle (59) will be broken. Gayle had set this record in 2012 and since then no one has been able to reach it.
