Teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has set himself an extraordinary goal after dominating bowling attacks in junior cricket and the IPL — becoming the first batter in history to score a double hundred in T20 cricket.
At just 15 years old, Sooryavanshi has openly declared his ambition to surpass Chris Gayle’s legendary unbeaten 175, which remains the highest individual score ever recorded in T20 cricket. Gayle produced that iconic innings for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Pune Warriors India during the 2013 IPL season, a record that has stood for more than a decade.
Speaking to Kevin Pietersen on the latest episode of The Switch, the youngster made it clear that he is targeting history.
“I want to score 200 in T20,” Sooryavanshi told Pietersen on his YouTube show.
After Pietersen reminded him that “Chris Gayle’s got 175,” the teenager doubled down on his ambition.
“Yeah, I want to break his record and score 200.
