In another stunning knock, Rajasthan Royals's 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored an impressive 57 (33) against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025.

The southpaw's brilliat innings meant RR comfortably chased down 188 at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Earlier, he became the youngest player to score a ton in T20 cricket.

Suryavanshi now has the joint-most sixes in an IPL season before turning 20.

His tally includes 24 sixes, now the joint-most in a season before turning 20.

The 14-year-old shares the record with Rishabh Pant, who hammered as many maximums in his second IPL season (2017), for Delhi Capitals.
