Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Sachin Tendulkar: A new shining star is emerging in Indian cricket. Young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who plays for Rajasthan Royals, has played only a few matches in the IPL so far, but in these matches alone he has confirmed his place in the team. He is proving to be a big match winner for the team with his explosive batting. He has hit as many sixes in his 8-match IPL career as Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Cricket, has hit in the IPL.

Special connection of Vaibhav-Sachin's 29 sixes

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has hit 29 sixes in his short IPL career.

This figure is amazing in itself, but an interesting thing that makes it more special is that out of these 29 sixes, some sixes were hit on those 4 bowlers who had made their professional debut before Vaibhav was born. That means Vaibhav has hit sixes even on those experienced bowlers who had already appeared on the big stage of cricket before the time of his birth. At the age of just 15, this aggressive batting is surprising the cricket fans.

On the other hand, Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Cricket, also hit exactly 29 sixes in the IPL.

But there is an interesting thing in these 29 sixes also. Out of the bowlers on whom Sachin hit sixes, four were such bowlers who were born after Sachin's professional debut. That means Sachin surpassed even those young bowlers who came long after his career started. Which is not easy for everyone.

Stormy style of IPL 2026

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has started IPL 2026 in a stormy manner. He played the first match of the season against Chennai and scored fifty in just 15 balls. On the other hand, in the 8 matches played so far in IPL, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has scored 304 runs at a strike rate of 218.70 and an average of 38.

During this period he has scored 1 century and 2 half-centuries. He scored this century in just 35 balls, which is the fastest century by any Indian in the IPL.
