Teen Sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Hits First-Ball Six in IPL

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a teenage cricket sensation from Bihar, made history in the Indian Premier League by becoming the youngest player ever to participate in the tournament at just 14 years of age. Representing Rajasthan Royals, he took the field today against Lucknow Super Giants as an impact substitute.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi opened the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. Facing his very first delivery in the IPL, he smashed a six, marking his debut in spectacular fashion. The delivery was not bowled by a novice; it came from senior pacer Shardul Thakur. Despite the ball swinging, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi confidently stepped back and lofted it over the covers for a massive six.

Overall, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored an impressive 34 runs off 20 balls in this innings, which included two fours and three sixes.

In this match, Lucknow Super Giants batted first and posted a total of 180 runs for the loss of five wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Chasing a target of 181, Rajasthan Royals had reached 113 runs for the loss of two wickets by the end of the 12th over. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was unbeaten on 55, while captain Riyan Parag was on 15.
