IPL 2026 Vaibhav Suryavanshi: Rajasthan Royals’ explosive opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi has also made a splash in this season of the Indian Premier League. After flopping against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last match, they will play against Kolkata Knight Riders today. In this match his eyes will be on a big record.
IPL 2026: Which record will Vaibhav Suryavanshi break against KKR?
New Delhi. Before the Indian Premier League 2026, a lot was being talked about Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Last year, at the age of just 14, he made his debut for Rajasthan Royals in the tournament. He became the youngest player to play in IPL. He started his career by hitting a six on the first ball of the tournament. After this, he created a ruckus by scoring a century in just 35 balls in the third match itself. Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the fastest batsman to score a century in IPL for India. Now he has two big records on his target.
When Rajasthan Royals’ explosive opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi comes out to play against Kolkata Knight Riders, everyone’s eyes will be fixed. We have seen a lot of hype, but Vaibhav Suryavanshi is something different. At the age of just 15, he is not only playing IPL but also rewriting it. When he hits shots fearlessly, the bowlers get scared.
Whose record can we break against KKR?
Currently, the fastest fifty of IPL is in the name of Yashasvi Jaiswal. He did this feat in just 13 balls. The amazing thing is that the closest to him is Vaibhav Suryavanshi who opens the innings along with him for Rajasthan. He scored fifty in 15 balls this season. All eyes are on this against KKR.
In the last match, he had a chance to equal the world record of completing the fastest 1000 runs in T20 cricket but missed it. Vaibhav Suryavanshi can equal the record of Australian legend Matthew Hayden against KKR. He completed 1,000 runs in his 24th T20 innings in 2009. On April 19, Vaibhav will play against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens.
Orange cap will be in focus
Vaibhav Suryavanshi has so far scored 200 runs in 5 matches in this IPL season. Batting with a strike rate of more than 260. He had the Orange Cap in the last match but now Henry Klaasen of Sunrisers Hyderabad has taken it in his name. There is a difference of 83 runs between the two. If Vaibhav’s bat works then he can get the Orange Cap back.
