Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashes long-standing IPL record

Rajasthan Royals batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became the fastest player to reach 500 IPL runs in terms of balls faced

The 15-year-old achieved the milestone in just 222 deliveries during the IPL 2026 clash against Lucknow Super Giants

Sooryavanshi surpassed Glenn Maxwell's long-standing record of 260 balls to reach the 500-run mark

Sooryavanshi brought up the landmark with a boundary off Prince Yadav in the second over of the innings

However, the young batter failed to capitalise on the start and struggled to find his usual rhythm

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was eventually dismissed by Mohsin Khan after scoring just 8 runs off 11 balls

Rajasthan Royals' top order, which has carried them this season, collapsed dramatically inside the powerplay
