Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the talk of the town after Rajasthan Royals (RR) handed him his maiden IPL cap against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2025. The opening batsman replaced Sanju Samson, who is out of action due to a rib injury. Vaibhav was included as an Impact Player and he walked out to open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Vaibhav made the best possible start to his IPL career and smashed a six on the very first ball he faced. He provided a quick start to RR and added 85 runs for the first wicket with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Here, we have a look at 3 huge records achieved by Vaibhav during his knock -
