Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Impresses In IPL 2026, Stunning Stuart Broad’s WhatsApp Circle
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s IPL 2026 impact leaves Stuart Broad’s WhatsApp group amazed.
Teenage cricket sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has become one of the standout talking points of the IPL 2026 season, with his explosive performances now even being discussed in former England pacer Stuart Broad’s private cricket WhatsApp group, highlighting the global buzz around the young batter’s rise.
The discussions gained attention after England white-ball captain Jos Buttler revealed on the “For The Love Of Cricket” podcast that Broad’s group regularly reacts in real time to Sooryavanshi’s big-hitting displays in the tournament. Buttler, currently playing for Gujarat Titans, noted that the Rajasthan Royals batter has been in sensational form, frequently dismantling bowling attacks during the powerplay overs.
Sooryavanshi’s rapid scoring has drawn comparisons with some of the greatest T20 hitters in the world. Buttler pointed out that the teenager has already crossed the 50-six mark in the season, placing him close to Chris Gayle’s record for most sixes in a single IPL edition. His ability to consistently find boundaries early in the innings has made him one of the most dangerous batters in the tournament.

According to Buttler, Sooryavanshi’s strike pattern in the powerplay has been extraordinary, with statistics suggesting he scores a boundary almost every other ball. This level of consistency at such a young age has surprised analysts and former players alike, who continue to assess how bowlers might contain him in future matches.
Sooryavanshi’s season statistics underline his impact, with 579 runs in 13 innings at an average of 44.53 and an exceptional strike rate of 236.32, including one century and three half-centuries. He has also hit 53 sixes, the highest by an Indian in a single IPL season, putting him firmly in contention for the Orange Cap and establishing him as one of the breakout stars of IPL 2026.
