He also won the Super Striker of the Season award for maintaining the most destructive strike rate in the tournament. As part of the award, he was presented with a Tata Sierra car.
Record-Breaking Season
Although Rajasthan Royals fell short of winning the IPL title, Vaibhav’s individual achievements became one of the biggest highlights of the season.
His tally of 72 sixes broke the previous IPL record of 59 sixes in a season, held by legendary West Indies batter Chris Gayle.
