53 Sixes that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has struck in IPL 2026, the second-most by any batter in any T20 tournament. The highest is 59 sixes by Chris Gayle during the 2012 edition of the IPL.

3 Instances of Sooryavanshi hitting ten or more sixes in an IPL innings. He is just behind Gayle now who has done it four times. Sooryavanshi has hit ten or more sixes in an innings twice in 2026; the only other batter with multiple such instances in an IPL season is Finn Allen, also in 2026.

60 Total sixes that Rajasthan Royals have hit in the first six overs, the most by any team in this phase in an IPL edition, going past 59 by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2024. Sooryavanshi alone has struck 37; no other batter has hit even 30 sixes in the first six overs in an edition.

221 Target that Rajasthan Royals (RR) chased down against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Tuesday in Jaipur. It is the fourth instance of RR successfully chasing down a 220-plus target in the IPL, the most by any team, going past three each by Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

RR are also the first team with four successful chases of 220-plus targets in T20 cricket. Bulgaria, England, Middlesex and Mumbai also have three successful 220-plus chases.

3 Partnerships of 100-plus runs between Sooryavanshi and Dhruv Jurel this year. They are the first RR pair to share three century stands in an IPL season. Overall, only Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson have put on three 100-plus stands for RR in the IPL.

7 220-plus totals in eight innings in Jaipur this IPL. No IPL team had recorded a 220-plus at this venue before 2026, as the previous highest total was 219 for 5 against RR in 2025.

Wankhede has seen eight 220-plus totals in IPL 2026, the most for any ground in a T20 tournament. Jaipur ranks second, alongside Rawalpindi from PSL 2023.

2 Successive innings where Mitchell Marsh has been run out in the 90s. He is only the second man to be run out twice in the 90s in T20 cricket, after Gayle.

Sooryavanshi scoring 93 in the chase made Tuesday's game only the second in the IPL with two batters being dismissed in the 90s. The 2013 season game between CSK and KKR at Chepauk was the first in which Michael Hussey was out on 95 while Mavinder Bisla scored 92.

16.67 Sooryavanshi's strike rate against Mohsin Khan in IPL 2026, against whom he's scored only two runs in 12 balls and got out twice. Against all other LSG bowlers, Sooryavanshi scored 99 runs off 37 balls in this season, while striking at 267.57.

83 for 0 LSG's powerplay total against RR was the fourth time they scored 80-plus runs in the powerplay in the last five matches. Before this, they had only one such instance in the IPL - 80 for 1 against CSK in 2023.
