wonder boy Vaibhav Suryavanshi Due to his sensational and unique innings in the Indian Premier League as well as other formats of high-level cricket, he has already made the world talk about his extraordinary talent and power-hitting abilities. However, he is still not satisfied and wants to move forward with the aim of breaking Chris Gayle's long-standing record of the highest score in T20 cricket.
During conversation with former England cricketer Kevin PietersenSuryavanshi revealed that he wants to score a double century in a 20-over encounter, which will not only make him the first person to do so, but in the process also break Gayle's record of 2013, where he scored 175 off 66 balls for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
“Anything (batting first or chasing). I want to score 200 runs in a T20 match. Yes, I want to do that. “I want to break Chris Gayle's record and I want to score 200 runs,” said a confident Suryavanshi during a conversation on The Switch with Pietersen.

Suryavanshi has been in sensational form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 for Rajasthan Royals. He has already scored 583 runs in 14 matches and is also the leading run-scorer for his team in the tournament and the fifth-highest run-scorer overall at the end of the league stage. He scored 103 runs off 38 balls this season, showing consistency and longevity to convert a start into a big innings.
With the playoffs approaching, the 15-year-old will look to add more runs to his tally to help RR make the finals, which would be their first since 2022 if that actually happens. Suryavanshi are next expected to face Sunrisers Hyderabad in an eliminator match on Wednesday, May 27, which will be played at the Maharaja Yadvendra Singh International Stadium, New Chandigarh.
