There are some batsmen in the history of IPL, who have achieved extraordinary feats on debut. The most notable among them is Abhishek hitting a six off the very first ball of the match. So far in the history of IPL, only 10 batsmen have hit a six on the first ball of their career. Rajasthan Royals’ young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi has also made it to this rare list.
In the 36th match of IPL 2025, Rajasthan Royals gave 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi a chance in the team. With this, he became the youngest cricketer to debut in the history of IPL. He grabbed everyone’s attention by hitting a six on his first ball in the debut match. He wrote his name in the special list by hitting that six off Lucknow Super Giants all-rounder Shardul Thakur.
Few other batsmen in IPL have achieved this feat before Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Rob Quinney was the first to do so in IPL history. He hit the first ball of his career while playing for Rajasthan Royals. Similarly, Kevan Cooper also hit a six on debut for Rajasthan Royals.
Besides, the star all-rounder of Kolkata Knight Riders Andre Russell also caught the eye by hitting a six in the first ball of his IPL career. Cricketers like Aniket Chowdhury, Jevon Sirles and Siddhesh Lad are in the same list. All of them have achieved a special feat by hitting sixes in the very first ball in the debut match.
Also in this list is a Sri Lankan cricketer and India’s young batsman Sameer Rizvi. Sameer Rizvi made his IPL debut in 2024 by hitting a six on the very first ball. Thus the list of cricketers who have hit first ball sixes in the history of IPL is very short but it is always a matter of special attraction for cricket lovers.
