vaibhav suryavanshi sixes record

Young Indian batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi set the stage on fire with the bat against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the Asia Cup 2025 Rising Stars. The game between the two teams is taking place at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha on Friday, November 14.

Suryavanshi opened the innings for India A and went after the bowlers right from the word go. The 14-year-old batted with utmost aggression and took India off to a flying start with the bat even though they lost Priyansh Arya early through a runout.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi looked unfazed by that as he played a blinder. The opening batter first slammed a half-century in just 17 balls and then after that didn't look back. He took just 15 more balls to reach his hundred, which he achieved in just 32 balls.

Youngster Vaibhav Suryavanshi was all over the UAE bowlers with his aggressive approach. He made sure that he spared no bowler as he slammed each one of them in all corners of the park. Thanks to his heroics, India A went past 200 runs on the board with ease.

Suryavanshi slammed a brutal ton, hitting a 32-ball century. He ended up with the innings of 144 runs off 42 balls, batting with a strike rate of 342 and hammering 11 boundaries and 15 sixes. With 15 sixes in an innings, Vaibhav Suryavanshi broke Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers’ record of most sixes in an innings. While Gayle hit 15 sixes in an innings, AB de Villiers didn’t break that barrier and now sits behind Suryavanshi in the list.

This knock was Vaibhav Suryavanshi fastest hundred. He had slammed a century off just 35 balls in the IPL 2025 while playing for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans. During this game, he established himself as one of the most dangerous batsmen in the world.
