Vaibhav hit again but Shubman steals show

Sooryavanshi cracks sensational 96, but Gill ton takes GT to final
MOMENTS after Vaibhav Sooryavanshi fell for 96 from 47 balls in the 18th over, the teenager was sitting in the dugout before Rajasthan Royals skipper Riyan Parag came up to him. The captain was seemingly having a serious conversation with the 15-year-old who had just delivered again on one of the biggest stages.
However, the intense conversation, it seemed, wasnt just about the missed century Sooryavanshi had missed out on the fastest hundred in the eliminator against Sunrisers Hyderabad two days ago when he fell for 97 but something more. This innings, against Gujarat Titans in the Qualifier 2, however, was more impactful.
And somewhere, they might have felt a few more runs were left in the middle for the taking.
