Those who have seen Vaibhav Suryavanshi play will not believe that he is a 15-year-old boy. While all the other children are preparing for the exams, Vaibhav is tearing the bowlers apart on the cricket field. Vaibhav, who is playing for Rajasthan Royals, is now the main attraction of IPL. Cricket fans all over the world are eager to watch him play. Legendary cricketers are hailing him as a future star. Vaibhav made such a strong impression in a short time. Vaibhav, who created a sensation with a brilliant century on his debut in the IPL, is getting more excited this season. He is not playing in a single match. He is changing the nature of the matches while looking at the ball with strong shots. His 93 off just 38 balls against Lucknow on Tuesday sent fans into a frenzy. If Rajasthan is now in strong contention for the playoffs, that is a good sign. He is currently wearing an orange cap. Vaibhav, who is not showing dots to the bowlers, is at the top of the list of run heroes with 579 runs at an average of 44.53 in 13 matches so far. If the strike rate is 236.32, then you can understand how his massacre went. It is noteworthy that Vaibhav has the highest strike rate among batsmen who have scored more than 500 runs in a season in the history of IPL. Russell (204.8, 2019) is second. Vaibhav, who has already hit 53 sixes in this IPL, has a good chance of surpassing Gayle (59 in 2012) to become the batsman who has hit the most sixes in an IPL season.
Gayle with ruthless power hitting, Ab de Villiers with creative play, Kohli with dominance… have left their mark on the IPL. There are some other cricketers who have made the fans crazy. But Vaibhav looks different. The reason for that is not just the runs.. the strike rate, not the sixes! What makes Vaibhav stand out is the lack of real fear. Whether it is a fast bowler or an experienced spinner if he bowls at a speed of 145 kmph, Vaibhav does not count. As if there is no pressure in his dictionary, he breaks from the first ball. Whether it’s a yorker, a short ball, off-spin or leg-spin, he hits. There is no pressure, no hesitation, no nervousness about facing the experienced international bowlers. All that is visible is bante. All that is known is the beating. His bat speed is extraordinary. This is just the beginning for Vaibhav, who is bursting with unwavering confidence. A bright future is ready for him. Vaibhav’s entry into international cricket is now a formality. The only thing of interest now is when.
Vaibhav, who made his PL debut in 2025, has registered 50 scores six times so far. He also crossed the hundred twice. The young sensation scored a total of 831 runs at an average of 41.55. It is remarkable that Suryavanshi hit 77 sixes in IPL. He is the fastest (in 220 balls) and the youngest player to score 500 runs in IPL.
