Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Chases Historic 100th T20 Six as Rajasthan Royals Face Delhi Capitals

Rajasthan Royals top-order batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi approaches a major T20 milestone during the 2026 Indian Premier League. The 15-year-old requires just one more six to reach 100 career sixes in the shortest format. Reaching this mark will make him the first teenager in International Cricket Council (ICC) recognized T20 history to achieve the feat.

Upcoming Clash in Jaipur

Sooryavanshi will have the opportunity to secure the record when Rajasthan Royals host the Delhi Capitals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Working under the guidance of Rajasthan Royals Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara, the young left-hander has accelerated the team’s scoring rate, a factor evident following their recent victory over the Punjab Kings.

Tracking Abhishek Sharma’s IPL Record

Beyond the century of career sixes, Sooryavanshi is tracking a major domestic IPL record. He currently sits at 37 sixes for the 2026 season. He needs six more maximums to surpass Abhishek Sharma, who hit 42 sixes during the 2024 IPL season, holding the record for the most sixes by an Indian player in a single campaign.

Sooryavanshi’s 2026 Campaign Highlights

• Runs: 400 in 9 matches
• Average: 44.44
• Strike Rate: 238.09
• Boundaries: 34 fours and 37 sixes
