14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi created history with a six off his first ball on Indian Premier League (IPL) debut against Lucknow Super Giants, on April 19 (Saturday). The left-hander, who already made history as the youngest-ever IPL debutant, smashed a six off his first ball to join a unique list.
Suryavanshi became the first batter in almost six years to smash a six off the first ball after Siddhesh Lad, who did it against Punjab Kings in 2019. Despite it being just his second T20 game, the left-hander showed no signs of nerves, with a pristine six through the cover region, almost crashing the car.
The 14-year-old followed that up with yet another crunching six, doubling his tally in no time. Suryavanshi didn’t spare Avesh Khan either, with a four, as he showed all of his cards pretty early on in the clash.
