In the IPL 2026 qualifier match, 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi created history against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Smashing 97 runs off just 29 balls, including 12 sixes, he propelled Rajasthan into Qualifier 2. This performance not only secured his team’s spot but also shattered the IPL record for most sixes in a season—65—previously held by Chris Gayle. Behind this explosive innings lie several factors: his specially crafted bat, a unique bat-swing technique, sharp vision, and physical strength.
Vaibhav uses a custom-made bat from SS Company, crafted from premium English willow. This wood delivers exceptional speed upon contact with the ball—something many players use—but his success lies in his unorthodox bat-swing technique. While most batters swing toward the third man, Vaibhav rotates his bat toward point and covers. His bat swing moves twice, generating immense power in his shots. This technique allows him to effortlessly clear even world-class bowlers like Pat Cummins, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mitchell Starc.
