Gayle, until today, held the record when he hit 59 sixes in the 2013 season while playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. But Sooryavanshi\u2019s 12 sixes today lifted him past Gayle, moving him to 65 sixes for the season.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"sub_head\">Joint fastest half-century in IPL Playoffs<\/h4>\n<p>Sooryavanshi brought his half-century in 16 deliveries today, which is the joint fastest fifty in IPL playoffs. The RR opener now shares the record with Suresh Raina, who also scored a 16-ball fifty for Chennai Super Kings against Kings XI Punjab in 2014.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"sub_head\">Youngest half-centurion in IPL Playoffs<\/h4>\n<p>Sooryavanshi, at the tender age of just 16, also became the youngest half-centurion in the IPL Playoffs.

The record was previously held by Shubman Gill, who hit 10 sixes for Gujarat Titans against Mumbai Indians in 2023.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"sub_head\">Joint-most sixes hit by an Indian in an IPL innings<\/h4>\n<p>Sooryavanshi\u2019s 12 sixes is also the joint most by an Indian in an IPL innings, equalling his own record against the same opposition earlier in the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on May 27, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/ipl\/vaibhav-sooryavanshi-ipl-records-stats-most-sixes-eliminator-2026-srh-vs-rr-rajasthan-royals\/article71030342.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The records tumbled in Mullanpur on Wednesday night as Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi set the stage alight with a sensational 29-ball 97 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator.
