At just 15, Vaibhav Suryavanshi from Bihar has done what no cricketer in history has done — shattered records across domestic cricket, the U19 World Cup, and the IPL all in a single year. India has a new phenomenon — and the world is scrambling to keep up.
Signed by Rajasthan Royals at just 13 for ₹1.1 crore ahead of IPL 2025, Suryavanshi debuted at 14 years and 23 days — the youngest player to appear in IPL history, and the first born after the league's own 2008 inception. He hit his first ball for six.
In IPL 2025, Suryavanshi smashed 101 off 35 balls against Gujarat Titans — the youngest centurion in men's T20 history at 14 years and 32 days. The knock left cricket legends, broadcasters and social media completely stunned.
In IPL 2026, Suryavanshi amassed 776 runs at an average of 48.50 and a staggering strike rate of 237.30 — becoming the youngest Orange Cap winner in IPL history at 15. He won five awards simultaneously: Orange Cap, MVP, Emerging Player, Super Striker, and Super Sixes.
Suryavanshi smashed 72 sixes in IPL 2026 — obliterating Chris Gayle's long-standing record of 59, set in 2012. He hit a six every 4.31 deliveries. Gayle's rate was one every 7.73. Of his 776 runs, a jaw-dropping 521 came in the first six powerplay overs alone.
In the 2026 U19 World Cup final in Harare, Suryavanshi bludgeoned 175 off 80 balls against England — 15 fours and 15 sixes — powering India to 411/9 and a 100-run victory. It is the highest score ever in any ICC tournament final, men's or women's, surpassing Alyssa Healy's 170.
At 14 years and 316 days, he became the youngest centurion in U19 World Cup history — beating Babar Azam. He reached 150 off just 71 balls — the fastest-ever in any youth ODI. His 30 sixes in the 2026 U19 World Cup were more than double any other player's total.
In the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Bihar, Suryavanshi scored 190 off 84 balls — including 150 off just 59 balls, breaking AB de Villiers' world record of 64 balls for the fastest 150 in men's List A cricket. Bihar posted 574/6 — a world-record List A team total in the same match.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is 15. He has already broken over 15 major world records across three formats and three levels of cricket. He is already in conversations with legends decades his senior. And he has said — simply and calmly — "I will try and do well next season too."
