RR vs SRH: Vaibhav Suryavanshi has created history. He has done wonders that no uncapped player has ever done before. While doing this, Vaibhav Suryavanshi was seen converting his words into actions. Vaibhav Suryavanshi also broke Chris Gayle’s record. However, this is not the record of Gayle, which he had expressed his intention to break before IPL 2026. Before the start of IPL 2026, Vaibhav was asked about his goal, in response to which he said that he would like to break Chris Gayle’s record of 175 runs.
Which record of Chris Gayle did Vaibhav Suryavanshi break?
Now the question is, if not the innings of 175 runs, then which record of Chris Gayle did Vaibhav break? His answer is- The record of hitting the fastest 50 sixes in IPL. Vaibhav Suryavanshi broke Chris Gayle’s record of hitting the fastest 50 sixes in IPL while scoring a century in 36 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Chris Gayle had achieved the feat of hitting 50 sixes in 21 innings in IPL. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has hit 50 sixes in 6 innings less and has left Chris Gayle behind. He hit his 50th six in his 15th innings of IPL.
First uncapped player to do so in IPL
Vaibhav Suryavanshi completed his century in 36 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. With this, he became the first uncapped player to score 2 centuries in IPL. His century scored on 36 balls is the third fastest century in IPL history.
Had already said before the match, will score a century
The big thing is that Vaibhav Suryavanshi had announced his century of 36 balls even before the match. Before the match, he had written 100 on the glass of the team bus. He did this while coming to the ground from the hotel.
It is clear from this video that there is not much difference between the words and actions of Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The hint he gave before the match of scoring 100 was implemented very well on the field.
