Buttler identifies Sooryavanshi as future T20 record holder

Jos Buttler has named 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as the batter most likely to break his all-time T20 run-scoring record. Buttler made the comment after scoring an unbeaten 51 for Manchester Super Giants in The Hundred final. Sooryavanshi has accumulated 776 runs in IPL 2026 at a strike rate of 237.30, including 72 sixes. The Rajasthan Royals batter also scored 151 runs in three T20Is against Zimbabwe last month. Buttler told Sky Sports that someone will eventually surpass the record.
