According to NDTV Sports Desk, the innings added to a growing list of milestones that have defined his breakout season.
READ: Sooryavanshi’s batting leaves Langer in awe
He became the youngest player in IPL history to reach 500 runs in a single season, surpassing Rishabh Pant’s previous mark set in 2018. He also registered the highest strike rate in a single IPL season (minimum 500 runs), finishing at a staggering 236.3.
Sooryavanshi’s power hitting has also placed him among the all time greats for six hitting in a season. He is the first Indian batter to reach 50 sixes in one IPL edition and now has 53, second only to Chris Gayle’s record 59 set in 2012.
