Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: In T20, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has the last chance to equal the big record which was made 5 years before his birth. If he capitalizes on this opportunity, then at the age of just 15, his name will be written in golden letters in the history of T20 cricket. Now the question is what is that record? That 20 year old record is related to scoring the fastest 1000 runs in T20 cricket, Vaibhav is just one inning away from equaling it and the Rajasthan Royals star is going to play that inning against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The record of fastest 1000 runs in T20 is 20 years old

The record of scoring the fastest 1000 runs in T20 cricket is in the name of Australia's Brad Hodge. In the year 2006, he made a record by achieving 1000 T20 runs in just 23 innings. It has now been 20 years since Brad Hodge's exploits. During this period, 1061 more batsmen scored 1000 runs in T20. But except one, all 1060 batsmen failed to touch Brad Hodge. The only batsman who equaled Brad Hodge was his compatriot Shaun Marsh, who completed his 1000 runs in 23 innings in 2008.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has the last chance to equalize

After 20 years, now Vaibhav Suryavanshi has the last chance to embrace the success of Brad Hodge and match him. Vaibhav Suryavanshi currently has 901 runs in 22 innings of T20. Meaning, he is 99 runs away from equaling Brad Hodge. When Vaibhav Suryavanshi plays against Sunrisers Hyderabad, it will be the 23rd inning of his T20 career. If he scores a century or at least 99 runs in this innings, he will equal 20-year-old Brad Hodge and become the second batsman after Shaun Marsh to do so. Meaning, then there will be 3 batsmen in the world who have achieved the feat of scoring 1000 runs in 23 innings in T20.
