Vaibhav Suryavanshi has performed amazingly in the current IPL season and this player is breaking record after record. The question is, can this player break Virat Kohli's record of 973 runs in one IPL season? Vaibhav Suryavanshi's coach Manish Ojha has given a big statement on this issue. He says that this season Vaibhav Suryavanshi will not be able to break Virat Kohli's record but next year i.e. in IPL 2027, Vaibhav Suryavanshi will break Virat Kohli's record of 973 runs.
On the issue of Virat Kohli's record, Vaibhav Suryavanshi's coach Manish Ojha said while talking to TV9, 'This year will be better than what Vaibhav did last year. Vaibhav will score 550 to 650 runs this season. Next year he may break Kohli's record. Although Vaibhav can break this record this season too, it would not be right to think like this right now.
Virat Kohli had scored 973 runs in an IPL season in 2016. Talking about Vaibhav, this season he has scored 400 runs in 9 matches. Right now Vaibhav has at least 5 more matches and maximum Vaibhav will play 8 more matches. Meaning if there are 8 matches then Vaibhav will have to score 573 runs in it. The way Vaibhav is batting, this can also happen. This player has so far scored 2 half-centuries and one century in IPL. He has hit 37 sixes and 34 fours.
Batsmen like Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler have come close to Virat Kohli's record of 973 runs. Shubman Gill had scored 890 runs in 17 matches in IPL 2023. Jos Buttler had scored 863 runs in IPL 2022. However, these players could not reach Virat's record. Let us tell you that Virat had scored 4 centuries in the season of 973 runs. 7 half-centuries were scored from his bat. In that season, Virat hit 38 sixes and 83 fours. The interesting thing is that Virat was out on 0 once in that season. If this had not happened then he could have scored 1000 runs in an IPL season.
