Vaibhav made a great start in both the seasons

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has made a good start in both the seasons of IPL. Vaibhav Suryavanshi made his debut against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025. He hit a six off the bowling of Shardul Thakur on the very first ball of his IPL career. Now in IPL 2026, Vaibhav hit a four on the first ball of Matt Henry and a long six on the second ball. That means he has made a good start in both the seasons.

Suryavanshi also made this record in her name

Yashasvi Jaiswal is on top among the players who have scored the fastest half-century for Rajasthan Royals, who achieved this feat while facing only 13 balls. Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s name is at second and third place in the list, because before this match, he had achieved this feat in just 17 balls against Gujarat Titans in the year 2025. Jos Buttler had completed his half-century in 18 balls against Delhi Daredevils in the year 2018.
