15 Balls, 78 Runs! Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Brutal Assault Destroys England Attack

Cricket fans are still reeling after witnessing what might be the most jaw-dropping onslaught ever in the sport’s history: Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed an astonishing 78 runs off just 15 balls, launching a breathtaking assault on England’s bowling attack that has instantly gone viral and sent shockwaves through the cricketing world!

The stunning knock came during a warm-up match against England’s touring XI, where Vaibhav, a relative unknown outside hardcore cricket circles, walked in with India at 200/5. What followed was pure carnage: he bludgeoned the English pacers for 8 sixes and 6 fours, including an unbelievable stretch of 6, 6, 4, 6, 6 in a single over that left the English bowlers and fans at the ground in a daze.

The fastest scoring spree since Yuvraj Singh’s iconic six sixes, Vaibhav’s innings saw him reach 50 in just 9 balls — a record in any recognized match format — before ending on 78 as India declared. The match was unofficial, but the performance has already sparked debates about fast-tracking the youngster into India’s T20 squad.

Former India star Virender Sehwag couldn’t hide his amazement on social media:

“WHAT did I just watch? 78 off 15 balls?? Vaibhav Suryavanshi – remember the name. This is next-level hitting.”

Cricket statisticians were quick to confirm that Vaibhav’s 15-ball 78 ranks among the fastest innings ever played anywhere in the world, eclipsing even some T10 and exhibition match records.

Meanwhile, fans erupted with hashtags like #VaibhavCarnage, #FastestFiftyEver, and #EnglandDestroyed trending across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram within minutes. Videos of his monstrous sixes, including one that cleared the stadium roof, have already racked up millions of views, with memes celebrating the “new fastest gun in cricket.”

England’s camp looked visibly shaken after the blitz, with their stand-in captain admitting post-match:

“We tried everything — pace, slower balls, yorkers — but it felt like he was batting on a different pitch. We haven’t seen hitting like that in a long time.”

Selectors are now expected to keep a close eye on Vaibhav Suryavanshi, whose fearless hitting could make him the perfect X-factor player in India’s white-ball plans. Some reports suggest IPL franchises have already started enquiring about him for the upcoming mega auction.

Was this a once-in-a-lifetime innings, or the start of India’s next big power-hitter?
