Suryavanshi’s latest feat further underlined the extraordinary rise of the teenage batter, who has emerged as one of the biggest stories of the IPL season. Known for his fearless strokeplay and attacking mindset, the youngster has consistently dominated bowling attacks despite his age.
Only former Australia opener Shaun Marsh has reached the milestone faster, having completed 1000 IPL runs in just 21 innings during his memorable stint with Kings XI Punjab.

He already has the Orange Cap with a mind-boggling 776 runs this season, surely breathing down an India debut soon.
