Sooryavanshi currently has the most sixes in the IPL this season with 40 maximums in only 11 matches. He also holds the record for the most sixes in a single innings this campaign after smashing 12 sixes during his explosive 103 off 37 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
The youngster has also turned the powerplay into a nightmare for bowlers. His 30 powerplay sixes this season are now the most ever recorded in a single IPL campaign, overtaking the previous mark of 29 set by Abhishek Sharma in 2024.

Only Abhishek Sharma and Finn Allen have managed 10 sixes in an innings this season, further highlighting the scale of Suryavanshi’s dominance.
The Royals star has quickly become one of the faces of the tournament, with bowlers across the league struggling to contain his fearless approach at the crease. At his current rate, more records could tumble before the season is over.
