Thunderous Sooryavanshi steals the show, floors RCB
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|April 11, 2026
The youngster shows why he is the cynosure of all eyes with a brilliant 78 runs off 26 balls
Rajasthan Royals batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi starred with a 26-ball 78 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday.
They had all come to watch Virat Kohli. They went away admiring Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
The predominantly Royal Challengers Bengaluru-leaning Guwahati crowd shifted loyalties almost organically towards the home side, as soon as the pocket dynamo from Bihar began putting on a show during Rajasthan Royals' chase of 202.
He showed scant respect to the league's highest wicket-taking pace bowler to begin with. The speed at which Sooryavanshi slammed a Bhuvneshwar Kumar full length ball with his high back lift straight past the bowler was just a teaser. A battle against Josh Hazlewood, one of the great seam bowlers of our time, should have been a sterner test for the youngster but that's not how it panned out.
