The 15-year-old prodigy became the youngest cricketer in history to smash 100 T20 sixes before turning 20 years old. He also broke the record for the fastest player to reach the milestone in terms of balls faced, needing only 514 deliveries to get there and surpassing <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/kieron-pollard\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kieron Pollard<\/a>\u2019s long-standing mark of 843 balls. <\/p>\n<p> Watch<\/p>\n<p> Why Suryakumar Yadav is set to lose India T20I captaincy: All you need to know Fittingly, the landmark came in fearless fashion. Facing <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/player-profile\/mohammed-siraj\/65799\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mohammed Siraj<\/a>, Sooryavanshi launched the very first ball he faced for a huge six over long-on, showing absolutely no regard for reputation or pressure despite RR chasing a massive 230-run target. The teenage sensation continued attacking Gujarat Titans\u2019 bowlers and raced to 36 off just 16 balls, smashing three fours and three sixes during another breathtaking cameo at the top of the order. However, Siraj eventually had the final say in a dramatic battle. The GT pacer produced a fiery short ball clocked at 146.6 kph that hurried Sooryavanshi into a mistimed shot, with Arshad Khan completing the catch. Siraj celebrated aggressively after the wicket, roaring in delight after dismissing the dangerous youngster.The milestone also carried extra significance considering the opponent. It was against Gujarat Titans last season that Sooryavanshi had announced himself to the cricketing world with a sensational 35-ball century. One year later, he once again produced a headline-grabbing moment against the same side. The record came during a difficult evening overall for Rajasthan Royals after Gujarat Titans piled up 229\/4, powered by brilliant knocks from Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan. But even amid GT\u2019s dominance, Sooryavanshi still managed to create history with one swing of the bat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rajasthan Royals&#8217; Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (ANI Photo) Vaibhav Sooryavanshi once again grabbed the spotlight in IPL 2026 after scripting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":948761,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[264664,1406,4124,117778,83960,63784,4125,34926,200900,79,16,15,36733,31008],"class_list":{"0":"post-948760","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-100-t20-sixes","9":"tag-cricket","10":"tag-gujarat-titans","11":"tag-ipl-2026","12":"tag-kieron-pollard","13":"tag-mohammed-siraj","14":"tag-rajasthan-royals","15":"tag-shubman-gill","16":"tag-sooryavanshi","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-vaibhav-sooryavanshi","21":"tag-youngest-cricketer"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116545854092946314","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=948760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948760\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/948761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=948760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=948760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=948760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
