Vaibhav Sooryavanshi kept up with his trend of collecting new records as he became the fastest player to reach 100 sixes in T20 cricket during Rajasthan Royals’ IPL 2026 match against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur on Saturday.
Chasing GT’s score of 229 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi got the home team off to a flyer as he hit Mohammed Siraj for a massive maximum over long on off the very first ball he faced in the match.
The six saw Vaibhav Sooryavanshi reach the 100 T20 sixes mark in just 515 balls, comfortably shattering Karanbir Singh’s previous record of 813 balls. Kieron Pollard, who took 843 balls to reach the mark, is third on the list.
Romario Shepherd (845) and Sekkuge Prasanna (850) round off the top five.
At just 15 years and 43 days old, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is also now the youngest to hit 100 T20 sixes.
The teenager scored a quickfire 36 off 16 balls before finally falling in the third over.
