There are prodigies and then there is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. At fifteen years old, on a Saturday evening in Jaipur, he walked to the crease against Sunrisers Hyderabad and produced an innings that will be talked about long after everyone present has gone home and told their families about it. One hundred and three runs off 37 balls. Five fours, twelve sixes, a strike rate of 278. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's second IPL century, brought up in 36 balls, and in doing so, he broke a record that belonged to one of Pakistan cricket's most decorated modern batters, achieving in 26 innings what had never been done faster by anyone in the history of men's T20 cricket. The Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's innings itself and how it unfolded Sooryavanshi came in and immediately made the Sawai Mansingh Stadium feel like his personal property, which at this point is simply what happens when he bats in Jaipur. He shared a 112-run partnership for the second wicket with Dhruv Jurel that set the platform, but the platform was largely a formality, Sooryavanshi was not building, he was accelerating from the moment he arrived. The sixes came in clusters, the fours came between them, and by the time Sakib Hussain dropped a yorker just a couple of inches short in the 14th over, Sooryavanshi was at 97 and the rest was inevitable. He thumped it flat over long-on for his 12th six and his second IPL hundred, removed his helmet, threw a salute toward the dugout, and let the moment breathe for exactly as long as it deserved. One ball later, attempting a reverse scoop off a full delivery, he was plumb lbw and walking back for 103. He knew it immediately. His face said everything. What an innings all the same. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi shatters Pakistani star world record with another Jaipur masterclass Four centuries in 26 T20 innings. That is the number that redefines where Vaibhav Sooryavanshi sits in the conversation about the greatest young batters this format has ever produced. The previous record belonged to Usman Khan of Pakistan, a destructive wicketkeeper batter who himself had only recently made history in the PSL by becoming the first batter to score four centuries in that competition, doing so in 33 innings. Sooryavanshi beat that mark by seven innings. The next names on the list tell you just how extraordinary this is, Sai Sudharsan needed 72 innings, Chris Gayle needed 77, Michael Klinger needed 88. Gayle. The Universe Boss. The man who redefined what batting in T20 cricket could look like. Sooryavanshi has done in 26 innings what Gayle needed 77 to achieve, and he is fifteen years old with what feels like the entire future of the format still ahead of him.

It was about the accumulation of milestones that keeps growing every time Vaibhav Sooryavanshi picks up a bat. He has now become the fastest IPL batter to reach 50 sixes, 15 innings, compared to Gayle's 21 and Rajat Patidar and Heinrich Klaasen who both needed 23. He is the first IPL batter with multiple centuries under 40 balls, both of them scored at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, both of them against quality bowling attacks. Vaibhav has three fifties in IPL history scored off 15 balls or fewer, more than any other batter in the competition's history. And the 36-ball century sits in the all-time IPL fastest list right behind Gayle's 30-ball effort from 2013, with people already noting that had he not fallen with almost six overs remaining, Gayle's record of 175, the highest individual score in IPL history, was genuinely in play. He will get there one day. On Saturday he just reminded everyone that days like these are going to keep coming.
