    IPL 2026: Can See Sooryavanshi Breaking Gayle’s Record And Making History, Says Kumble

    Lucknow Super Giants: Former India captain Anil Kumble believes Rajasthan Royals’ opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi is on the cusp of making history in IPL 2026, saying the teenager can break Chris Gayle’s record for most sixes hit by a batter in a single season of the competition.

    Sooryavanshi’s scintillating 93 off 38 balls helped RR keep their knockout hopes alive in IPL 2026 with a commanding seven‑wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants. The left-handed batter was at his brutal best by hammering 10 towering sixes in a breathtaking assault that powered RR to chase down 221 and sign off from their home matches at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on a high. In the process, he became the first Indian batter in IPL history to hit 50 sixes in a single season.

    "Very few batters can hit sixes over cover with such ease. But Vaibhav Suryavanshi did it multiple times against Digvesh Rathi. I am glad people still have words to describe such talent. I am running out of my own vocabulary. This kid is very special. What stands out even more is his mindset.
