Sooryavanshi, 15, becomes second-fastest player to hit 1,000 IPL runs

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became the joint-second fastest player to reach 1,000 runs in the Indian Premier League on Friday, as he smashed his way to a sensational 96 off 47 deliveries during Rajasthan Royals' qualifying match against Gujarat Titans. 

The 15-year-old batter entered the match with 932 runs from 22 IPL appearances and smashed his way to a half-century off 31 deliveries. It came after he equalled the fastest 50 ever struck in the IPL play-offs during Wednesday's victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad, passing the milestone off 16 balls.
