Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has been scoring runs like a storm in the world of cricket, despite being only 15 years old, has given sixes to the old ace players of cricket. Vaibhav is the Orange Cap holder with 37 sixes. Vaibhav is the youngest to score 1000 T20 runs. Rajasthan Royals’ only 15-year-old opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi has not only set the field on fire with his batting, but has also erased old names from the pages of the record book. In the match against Punjab Kings, Vaibhav once again proved why he is being called the ‘future of India’.
Russell’s record recorded in the pages of history
Vaibhav has touched the mark of 400 runs facing only 167 balls this season. This proves that he will go far in Indian cricket. Vaibhav has achieved a new record of scoring the fastest 400 runs by any batsman in IPL history. However, earlier this record was in the name of West Indies power-hitter Andre Russell, who had achieved this milestone in 188 balls in 2019. This 15 year old boy has won the hearts of the audience with his explosive ability by defeating an experienced player like Russell.
