15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has already started breaking records in the IPL as he recently completed 500 runs in the IPL and achieved a new milestone, leaving Glenn Maxwell and Virender Sehwag behind.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a young player who has shown impressive form in 2025 and 2026, and who is coming into this IPL with peak form from the last edition, has been loved by all. The left-handed batsman has scored centuries across all formats for India against every major opponent in U19 cricket.
Considering his young age, Suryavanshi’s IPL form has also been unmatched. Although he is just 15 years old, he has already scored 250+ runs and is playing his seventh match of the season. He has made some great contributions in this tournament and has scored two half-centuries while striking over 250.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become the fastest player to score 500 runs in IPL history.
The youngster who was recognized by former Rajasthan Royals head coach Rahul Dravid after he was brought in for Rs 1.10 crore, has become his best player in the last two seasons.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who came to bat in the seventh game of the season, hit two fours in the first four balls against Prince Yadav. He looked calm and in form. With those two fours, Suryavanshi took just 227 balls to cross the 500-run mark in the IPL.
Suryavanshi became the fastest batsman to do so in IPL history, leaving behind Glenn Maxwell, Priyansh Arya, Naman Dheer and legendary Indian opener Virender Sehwag.

The young batsman is normally batting at a strike rate of over 250; However, even if he has struggled to get starts, as was the case in the game against Kolkata Knight Riders, his strike rate has remained within the high range of 160-170.
The left-handed batsman’s struggle against the LSG bowlers was something completely new that was seen in IPL 2026. After scoring eight runs off Prince Yadav, he struggled against Mohsin Khan. Khan did not let him free his hands for the first five balls and then got out on the last ball of the over.
Suryavanshi finally got restless after not scoring any runs on the last 8 balls; He came out and tried to lift the ball, which ended in a very good catch by Digvesh Rathi.
