Vaibhav Sooryavanshi breaks Gayle's all-time IPL record

Fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continues to rewrite IPL history. The Rajasthan Royals opener shattered a 14-year-old record held by Chris Gayle during the IPL 2026 Eliminator clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad in New Chandigarh. The record had stood untouched since Gayle’s iconic 2012 campaign, but Sooryavanshi has now surpassed the legendary power-hitter at just 15 years of age. Vaibhav smashed his 61st six of IPL 2026 to move past Gayle's long-standing tally of 59 from the 2012 season, capping another breathtaking display of power-hitting.

The landmark came in typical Sooryavanshi fashion, fearless and relentless. Facing Sakib Hussain in the fourth over, the teenager first equalled Gayle's record before overtaking it within the space of three deliveries. Sakib tried the slower ball route, pitching it full outside off, but Sooryavanshi cleared extra-cover with ease. The next fuller delivery disappeared over long-off, and when the bowler went short, the RR batter swivelled and hammered a pull behind square for his 61st six of the season. Sooryavanshi also slammed a 16-ball half-century in the match. During the course of the match, Sooryavanshi was called "Universe Baby Boss" by the giant screen at the stadium. Gayle was called "Universe Boss".

IPL chairman Arun Dhumal hit the nail right on the head when asked about the way forward for the teenager, calling him a 'special talent' while insisting that the BCCI and RR's continued guidance would make him even better.
