RR vs CSK, IPL 2026: Suryavanshi blazes to 15-ball half-century, third fastest 50 in IPL history
Rajasthan Royals’ teenage prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi started the IPL 2026 season with a bang, scoring a 15-ball half-century as he powered the Rajasthan Royals to a dream start in its pursuit of CSK’s target of 127.
The 15-year-old smashed four boundaries and five sixes in his whirlwind innings, before eventually falling for 52 to Anshul Kamboj in the last over of the powerplay.
Suryavanshi’s half-century today is the third fastest in the history of the IPL. His opening partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal currently holds the record for the fastest ever fifty, a milestone he achieved in just 13 balls.

The 15-year-old also holds the record for the second fastest century, something which he achieved in his debut IPL season in 2025 when he scored 101 of 35 balls, taking just five more balls than Chris Gayle did in 2013, who holds the record for the fastest ever century.
Suryavanshi looked disappointed after he got dismissed but after today’s innings, don’t be surprised if the teenager manages to break the fastest 100 and 50 records sometime during this season.
