“I Will Smash 200 in T20 Cricket…” — 15-Year-Old Sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Targets Chris Gayle’s Historic Record
NEW DELHI — At just 15 years of age, Rajasthan Royals’ breakout explosive opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has thrown down a massive gauntlet to the cricket world. In an exclusive chat with former England captain Kevin Pietersen, the teenager revealed that standard milestones do not fulfill his appetite, declaring his ultimate ambition to record T20 cricket’s first individual double century.

Eclipsing the Universe Boss
Sooryavanshi is actively locked onto Chris Gayle’s towering individual score of 175* made during the 2013 IPL season. While regular batsmen feel tactical pressure or battle “nervous nineties” symptoms, the young left-hander mentioned he feels entirely unpressured at the crease, trusting his capabilities to out-hit historical standards.
A History of Astronomical Tallies
Though scoring 200 in a T20 game sounds borderline impossible, Sooryavanshi’s statistical resume proves he has unique muscle memory for marathon innings:
- U19 World Cup Final Heroics: Blasted a magnificent, record-breaking 175 runs in the final match, securing the highest score ever logged in a tournament finale.
- Unbelievable Domestic Numbers: Recorded an unbeaten 335* runs for his state side in a domestic tournament after successfully carrying his bat through all 50 overs.
The Evolution of a Superstar
Previously labeled purely as an explosive power-hitter, Sooryavanshi has evolved into a terrifying tactical asset during IPL 2026. Accumulating 579 runs alongside 53 sixes at an unreal strike rate of 236, his inclusion of advanced modern layouts—such as precise ramps and upper-cuts against raw pace—makes him an absolute nightmare for bowling charts globally.
