The 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is showing no signs of stopping as the young prodigy delivered yet another knock that made the cricket fraternity take notice.

In a high intensity clash between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2026, Sooryavanshi brought up a 15-ball half century. Not the first, but the second time in his IPL career and this season.

A fearless start from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in a big chase

Coming out to open the innings when RR needed 202 runs to win against a strong RCB bowling attack, Sooryavanshi once again showed why he is regarded as one of the most dangerous openers in this IPL.

He took on bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood right from the first over. The intent was clear and there was no slowing down.

He raced to a 15 ball fifty and did not stop there. Even after Yashasvi Jaiswal departed for 13, Sooryavanshi continued his attack.

He went on to score 78 runs in just 26 deliveries. The innings included eight fours and seven sixes, striking at 300 which is something every batter dreams of.

Along with Dhruv Jurel, he stitched a 108-run partnership in just 37 deliveries, putting RR firmly in control of the chase.

With this knock Sooryavanshi etched his name in some of the prominent records lists.
