Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 15-Ball Fifty & Record Century Stuns IPL 2026

The Indian Premier League 2026 season has had many exciting moments, but one of the most talked-about performances came from 15-year-old batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. His innings was special and created a lot of hype among fans because of his young age and fearless batting.

The star batter has been in impeccable form in the ongoing season, and he continued his brilliance against Sunrisers Hyderabad as well. Taking on the side in game 36 of the tournament at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Sooryavanshi opened the innings for RR and smacked yet another 15-ball half-century. The star batter continued his brilliance and smashed his second IPL century as well.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Shines Bright with Record-Breaking Century

The bowlers of Sunrisers Hyderabad had no answer to the brilliant batting of 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. After scoring a century against Gujarat Titans in Indian Premier League 2025, he has done it again, this time against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Through his brilliant innings, Sooryavanshi also became the youngest player in history to complete 1000 runs in T20 cricket. Ever since his debut for Rajasthan Royals, Sooryavanshi has been the talk of the town across world cricket. 

With many claiming him as the greatest talent of the past several years, Sooryavanshi has been performing on a similar level and has been exceptional for both Rajasthan Royals and India U19 as well. The youngster is also in the race to win the IPL orange cap. RR’s top order has been a major talking point for the side this season.

While the bowling unit of Rajasthan Royals has been very strong, their batting has been a bit inconsistent. When it works, it looks very dangerous. But if the top three batters get out early, the team can struggle. However, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi batting confidently and staying at the crease, Rajasthan Royals look on track to score a big total against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Jaipur.
