Every Major Record Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Has Broken So Far
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. In little over two years, the teenage batting sensation has progressed from making his domestic debut to becoming one of India's most exciting young international cricketers.
The 15-year-old recently capped India's 3-0 T20I series sweep over Zimbabwe by winning the Player of the Series award, adding yet another milestone to an already remarkable career.
Here's a look at the biggest records Sooryavanshi has already broken.
Youngest Batter to Score a T20 Fifty and Century
Sooryavanshi announced himself during IPL 2025 while representing Rajasthan Royals.
Against Gujarat Titans, he blasted a 17-ball half-century before converting it into a stunning 35-ball century. At just 14 years and 32 days old, he became the youngest player to score both a T20 fifty and a T20 century, while also becoming the youngest centurion in IPL history.
Youngest List A Centurion
The youngster continued his record-breaking run during the 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Playing for Bihar, he hammered 190 from just 84 balls against Arunachal Pradesh to become the youngest player ever to score a century in List A cricket.
His innings featured a 36-ball hundred and a 59-ball 150, with the latter also setting a new benchmark for the fastest 150 in men's List A cricket.
Fastest to 100 T20 Sixes
Power-hitting has quickly become Sooryavanshi's trademark.
He needed only 29 innings and 514 deliveries to reach 100 career sixes in T20 cricket, making him the fastest player ever to reach the milestone.
Fastest Fifty in List A Cricket
Before making his senior India debut, Sooryavanshi created history once again during the India A tri-series.
Facing Sri Lanka A in the final, he raced to a half-century in just 11 balls before eventually scoring 94 from only 29 deliveries. The knock broke a record that had stood for more than two decades.
Fastest to 1,000 T20 Runs
Another milestone arrived during IPL 2026.
His explosive century against Sunrisers Hyderabad took him beyond 1,000 career T20 runs in just 473 deliveries, eclipsing the previous world record. He also became the youngest player to reach the landmark.
Fastest to 1,000 IPL Runs
A few matches later, Sooryavanshi reached another milestone during Rajasthan Royals' Qualifier 2 clash against Gujarat Titans.
He crossed 1,000 IPL runs after facing just 440 balls, comfortably surpassing the previous record held by Andre Russell.
Most Sixes in a T20 Tournament
IPL 2026 proved to be Sooryavanshi's breakthrough season.
He finished with 776 runs, won the Orange Cap and smashed an incredible 72 sixes throughout the tournament—the most ever recorded by a batter in a single T20 competition.
The achievement eclipsed Chris Gayle's long-standing record and underlined Sooryavanshi's reputation as one of the cleanest hitters in world cricket.
Youngest to Score an International Fifty
After a difficult introduction to international cricket in England, Sooryavanshi found his rhythm during the Zimbabwe series.
His blistering 18-ball half-century made him the youngest player to score a fifty in men's international cricket.
Youngest Player of the Series in International Cricket
The Zimbabwe tour finished on the perfect note for the teenager.
After scoring 151 runs at a strike rate of almost 200 across three matches, Sooryavanshi was named Player of the Series.
At just 15 years and 121 days old, he became the youngest cricketer—male or female—to receive a Player of the Series award in international cricket.
Criclines Analysis
Every young prodigy attracts comparisons, but Sooryavanshi's numbers already place him in territory rarely seen in cricket.
From domestic cricket to the IPL and now international cricket, he has consistently broken age and scoring records while maintaining an aggressive style of play.
The next challenge will be sustaining those performances against the world's strongest bowling attacks. If his early career is any indication, Indian cricket could be witnessing the emergence of one of its most exciting batting talents in decades.
