GT vs RR Qualifier 2: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Becomes First Uncapped Player To Smash 700 Runs In A Single IPL Season

GT vs RR IPL 2026 Qualifier 2: Rajasthan Royals star opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has carved his name into history as he blazed past the 700-run mark, becoming the first uncapped player to achieve this milestone during a single IPL season. Originating from Bihar, the youngster needed only 20 runs in the ongoing match against the Gujarat Titans to seize the record, which he clinched with a boundary off Kagiso Rabada's over in Mullanpur.

Two uncapped batters have powered their way past 600 runs in a single IPL season, but Sooryavanshi surged ahead as the first to smash more than 700 runs.
