Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Makes History on Home Soil:
The 64th game of IPL 2026 was conducted in the Sawai Mansingh Stadium located in the city of Jaipur. In that match, one of RR’s most promising batsmen, Vaibhav, required just 14 more runs to achieve his new record, which he accomplished within the next 14 balls.
As a result, he has also surpassed the mark set by Rishabh Pant. Previously, the record of becoming the youngest player to have scored 500 runs in an IPL season was established by Rishabh Pant during the 2018 season.
