Suryavanshi joined an elite list of players who have hit sixes on their first IPL delivery. The list includes Rob Quiney and Kevon Cooper from Rajasthan Royals, Andre Russell from Kolkata Knight Riders, Carlos Brathwaite from Delhi Daredevils, Aniket Choudhary from Royal Challengers Bangalore, Javon Searles from Kolkata Knight Riders, Maheesh Theekshana from Chennai Super Kings, Siddhesh Lad from Mumbai Indians, and Sameer Rizvi from Chennai Super Kings.
The Rajasthan Royals shared the moment on social media with the caption "Halla Bol from Ball One!"
Suryavanshi was brought on as an Impact Substitute in place of Sandeep Sharma after he was named on the bench, coming in place of an injured Sanju Samson.
The teenager struck his second six of the innings off Avesh Khan, his third ball in IPL.
He survived a drop when on 14 but eventually perished for 34 from 20 balls. He fell to the smart spin-bowling by Aiden Markram in the ninth over. On an angled delivery, Suryavanshi tried to lean forward and push at it but was beaten and his leg was in the air as Rishabh Pant whipped off the bails.
Rajasthan Royals are chasing 181 runs in the 20 overs at their home ground.
