Before the start of IPL 2026, Rajasthan Royals’ young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi has made a lot of headlines with his statement. This 14-year-old batsman jokingly said that he wants to score 2000 to 3000 runs in this season. His statement may have come in a light tone, but it clearly reflects his confidence.
In a program of Rajasthan Royals, Vaibhav was asked what is his run target this season. On this he smiled and said that if you ask this question then I will say that as a batsman I would like to score 2000 or 3000 runs. Hearing his answer, the people present there also smiled, because it is impossible to score so many runs in one season.
Focus on trophy more than records
However, Vaibhav also made it clear that more than personal records, his real goal is to contribute to Rajasthan Royals winning the IPL 2026 title. That means the young batsman’s eyes are not only on scoring runs but also on the success of the team. This also shows his thinking and maturity.
There was a stir in the last season
Vaibhav Suryavanshi had caught everyone’s attention with his performance in IPL 2025. He had scored 252 runs in 7 matches and left a big mark in his short career. The most important thing was that he scored a century against Gujarat Titans in just 35 balls. With this, he became the youngest batsman to score a century in the history of T20 cricket. This is the reason why now the expectations from him have increased even more in IPL 2026.
Hope to open with Yashasvi
This season, Vaibhav is expected to open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal. If this happens, Rajasthan Royals may get a very aggressive opening pair. This time the captaincy of the team is in the hands of Riyan Parag, so there will be special attention on the young players.
Rajasthan Royals will play their first match against Chennai Super Kings on 30 March 2026. Now it will be interesting to see how Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who jokingly talks about 2000-3000 runs, leaves a big mark on the field.
