Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Dreams of Creating T20 History With First-Ever Double Century
India’s rising cricket sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has once again grabbed headlines after revealing his ambitious goal of scoring 200 runs in a T20 match — a feat never achieved in professional men’s T20 cricket so far.
The teenage batting prodigy, who has already stunned cricket fans with his fearless six-hitting and record-breaking performances, said he wants to go beyond legendary West Indies batter Chris Gayle’s unbeaten 175, widely considered one of the greatest T20 innings ever played.
Young star aiming beyond Gayle’s iconic 175
Chris Gayle’s explosive 175* for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2013 remains the highest individual score in T20 history. But Vaibhav believes modern cricket has evolved enough for a batter to eventually reach the 200-run milestone.
Speaking about his ambitions, the Rajasthan Royals batter reportedly said that breaking records motivates him and that he wants to push the boundaries of aggressive batting in T20 cricket.
The youngster has already built a reputation as one of the most destructive power-hitters in Indian cricket’s next generation.
Vaibhav’s fearless batting turning heads
Sooryavanshi’s explosive performances in IPL 2026 and youth cricket have drawn comparisons with some of the game’s biggest hitters. Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan recently said the teenager is creating “Gayle-level fear” among bowlers because of his brutal six-hitting ability.
The left-handed batter has smashed huge six counts throughout the ongoing season and is now being viewed as a genuine contender to challenge Chris Gayle’s record for most sixes in a single IPL campaign.
Record-breaking performances continue
Vaibhav’s rise has been extraordinary over the past year. From dominating Under-19 cricket to becoming one of the IPL’s biggest attractions, the Bihar-born cricketer has consistently produced explosive innings under pressure.
He previously grabbed global attention after scoring a blistering 175 in the Under-19 World Cup final and later continued his six-hitting spree during IPL 2026.
Cricket experts believe his fearless mindset and attacking intent make him one of the most exciting T20 prospects in world cricket.

Meanwhile, fans on social media are already debating whether Vaibhav could eventually become the first player in history to score a double century in T20 cricket.
