The young sensation from the Rajasthan Royals has rewritten IPL history. In a jaw-dropping display during the high-stakes playoffs, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi broke Chris Gayle’s long-standing record for the most sixes in a single IPL season, reaching a staggering 60 maximums. He did it in style against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator clash, leaving the opposition clueless and the crowd on its feet.

Record-breaking six

The magic unfolded in the fourth over of the innings. Facing Sakib Hussain at the 3.5 mark, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi received a slower, fuller delivery. He read it early, got under the ball perfectly, and launched it high and handsome straight into the stands over deep extra cover. That clean strike was no ordinary six. It was his 60th of the season, officially breaking Chris Gayle’s previous record. The young prodigy made it look effortless, picking the length and depositing the ball deep into the crowd. For a teenager already turning heads with his fearless batting, this milestone felt like destiny.
