Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is all set to feature in the India vs England 3rd T20I in England, his second after making his debut in Manchester for the second of the 5-match series. Ahead of the third match, some fascinating stats about the opener’s batting have caught cricket fans in awe.
Arguably, Vaibhav is the best hitter in modern-day cricket. There are a lot of other talents across the planet who have made their names as prolific hitters of the white ball in the Twenty20 format. But why is Vaibhav considered the best?
Since making his debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Rajasthan Royals in 2025, Sooryavanshi has never missed any opportunity to steal the spotlight with his extraordinary batting skills.
His batting was at its peak in the previous IPL season when he claimed the Orange Cap for scoring the most amount of runs in that edition. Not only the Orange Cap, but the 15-year-old also got several other individual awards as well purely for his batting performance throughout the season.
Whether it was Jasprit Bumrah, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, or any other international bowler were against the emerging batter, the result was the same. In his debut match for India, Vaibhav backed his natural game and swung his blade on almost every delivery, no matter which bowlers were against him.

The budding opener opened his account for the senior national cricket team with a six off England’s premier pacer Jofra Archer, who was the teammate of Vaibhav in the IPL 2026 season. Another England pacer, Josh Tongue, also went for a maximum against the Indian batter.
According to the stats published by Cricbuzz, Vaibhav has the most impressive strike rate compared to any other batter in the Men’s T20 format. The Rajasthan Royals prodigy has a staggering strike rate of 219.26 in the format, which is far ahead of the batter who is ranked second. Australian batter Mitchell Owen is in the second spot with an 186.96 strike rate.
