It was the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi show that helped Rajasthan Royals achieved a convincing victory over SRH in the IPL 2026 Eliminator clash on Wednesday. He smashed 97 off just 29 deliveries to leave everyone stunned, and his knock even earned praise from all.
However, RR fast bowler Jofra Archer said – “It was very exciting. The more runs he scores, the more runs we have to defend. He can get 150″. When he was asked about where one should bowl to Vaibhav, he was all smiles, and said – “I’ll tell you after the IPL.”
Meanwhile, Dhruv Jurel also praised the teenager’s knock and shared that the young batter backs himself as well.
“Best thing about Vaibhav is that he doesn’t plan anything, because he practices a lot, and he always backs himself. That’s what he does every time he goes out and plays. So the best thing about him is that he backs himself and he doesn’t have that shadow of doubt that I’m not able to do it,” said Jurel in a post-match press conference.
“When you go to the academy, you are told not to watch the bowler, but the ball. And we, as a 17-year-old kid, we always used to watch the bowler. But he [Sooryavanshi] just watches the ball. That’s all his mantra. He doesn’t give a damn about any bowler. He just wants to play the ball. That’s all,” he again said.
