The 15-year-old opener of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, is currently the talk of the entire cricket world. Vaibhav once again created history with his explosive batting in the eliminator match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday. Vaibhav hit all over the field with an explosive knock of 97 runs in just 29 balls. Interestingly, in this innings, he hit as many as 12 sixes and created many records in T20 cricket. Vaibhav needed just three runs for a century. However, he was caught on the boundary while trying to hit the big shot and missed his century by just three runs. Still, his blistering 97 off 29 balls kept cricket fans entertained. With this performance, Vaibhav also broke T20 cricket’s ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle’s record of most sixes in a single IPL season held 14 years ago. Now this season, as many as 65 sixes have been recorded in the name of Vaibhav.

Chris Gayle also became a fan of Vaibhav

Impressed by this explosive innings of glory, Chris Gayle himself took to social media to praise him. After the match, Gayle took to his official social media handle to share pictures of his on-screen glory, dubbing him the “new six machine”. Gayle shared a screenshot of Vaibhav’s batting on social media and wrote, “Carnage Vaibhav Suryavanshi… unlucky! But you too will get there.” In cricket, the term ‘carnage’ is used for a batsman who literally washes away the bowlers. Gayle termed it unfortunate that he narrowly missed out on the record for the fastest century, but also expressed confidence that he would definitely break the record in the future.
