How Vaibhav Suryavanshi used the great heave-ho to tame Gujarat Titans bowlers

How Vaibhav Suryavanshi used the great heave-ho to tame Gujarat Titans bowlers

Published by Webster

It isn’t common for a 14-year old to have a signature shot that can overpower adult versions out there. But then not everyone can do what Vaibhav Suryavanshi did on Monday night during a breathtaking 101 off just 38 balls. He has polished the good-old heave-ho to the leg side to perfection, and the likes of Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Siraj, Prasidh Krishna felt the brunt. There isn’t a iota of self-doubt in that shot: from the high bat-lift to the furious blur of a down swing or in the scythe through as the bat reaches the zenith again on the unbridled follow-through. The fluidity in the big bat swing as he clears his front foot was quite something to watch but one man wasn’t a bit surprised. His childhood coach Manish Ojha, who knows Vaibhav from when he was eight-and-half years old. But first a piece of statistics. His wagon wheel made for an interesting analysis. The majority of the runs (61%) came on the leg-side with the heave, and pull-shot to the spinners – …

As the clock struck 10.30 pm, 10.2 overs into their chase of 210, Rajasthan Royals’ Vaibhav Suryavanshi wrote his name in history books by depositing spinner Rashid Khan over midwicket. At 14 years and 32 days, he became the youngest ever to score a century in the IPL. It was also the second-fastest century ever in the league, in 35 balls. His head coach Rahul Dravid, who has been on a wheelchair because of an injury, jumped up on his feet to applaud what was truly an innings for the ages. In its 18 seasons, the IPL has been the grand theatre of dreams. Many “wonder boys” have come and stolen the show. Yet, no one has done it in the most breathtaking fashion as Suryavanshi. His 38-ball 101, with seven fours and 11 sixes, made short work of the chase as Rajasthan hunted down Gujarat Titans’ total of 209 in 15.5 overs in Jaipur. Suryavanshi from Samastipur in Bihar, who grew up watching videos of Brian Lara, has already got many in Indian cricket …

Vaibhav Suryavanshi overshadows top international batters with 35-ball ton to revive RR’s playoff chances | Ipl News

SYNOPSIS: It was a night that belonged to 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, whose swashbuckling 38-ball 101 overshadowed the batting displays of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill to fire Rajasthan Royals to a dominant win. It was an evening where India’s batting talent came to the forefront across both the innings. If Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan appeared to be two young blokes who want to carry forward India’s proud batting legacy that is tied to textbook shots in the classical mould, in the run chase, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi showed what modern day T20 is all about with a century that came of 35 deliveries. Watching it from the other end was Yashasvi Jaiswal, another special talent who is already a household name, who made an unbeaten 70 as Rajasthan Royals chased down the 210-run target that Gujarat Titans set for them with 25 balls to spare and 8 wickets in hand.

Punjab Kings suffer first defeat of season as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag power Rajasthan Royals to winning total | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s furious 67 and Riyan Parag’s crafty 43 propelled Rajasthan Royals to 205/4 before Jofra Archer’s stunning double-strike in the first over deflated the chase. On a pitch that got increasingly slower, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s violent start had set up Rajasthan before Riyan Parag ensured they would finish strongly with a well-composed knock tailored to the track. Much depended on Shreyas Iyer in the chase to tackle the vagaries of the pitch, but Jofra Archer took him out in the first over. Nehal Wadhera and Glenn Maxwell tried a heist with a 88-run stand, but Punjab Kings succumbed to their first defeat this edition, losing by 50 runs. Archer’s stunning double strike Such is his rhythmically graceful action, that Archer raises an illusion that there is no ball in his hands as he delivers. There is a lack of effort, no visual jerk of effort at release or audible grunt – just a smooth pizzaz about it all. Everything is in straight lines – the arm, the ball, the tramline but with a flip of …

Punjab Kings bowlers get regular wickets on the red-soil pitch before Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer and Nehal Wadhera muscle through the chase for a routine eight-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants. After a lot of talk about the tournament being loaded in favour of the batsmen, Punjab Kings bowlers capitalised on the red-soil pitch at the Ekana Stadium, which had a reasonable amount of grass cover and offered something for the bowlers. With an easy subsequent chase, Shreyas Iyer’s side stormed to an eight-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday. Wickets at the right time The varied strengths of Punjab’s bowling line-up, and skipper Iyer’s utilisation of the resources at his disposal, allowed his team to take crucial wickets at the right time, choking the home team’s line-up in the process.

‘It was an incredible knock of the highest standard’: Kane Williamson lauds Nitish Rana for 81-run innings vs Chennai Super Kings | Ipl News

Published by Webster

New Zealand batter Kane Williamson lauded Nitish Rana’s batting in the Sunday’s match against Chennai Super Kings, calling it a knock of the highest standard. The former Kiwi skipper also praised the fielding of Rajasthan Royals, saying that it was big factor in the Royals’ 6-run win over the 5-time champions CSK. “Nitish is an excellent player of spin, but he got his innings started against the seam, using the pace well. He accessed the areas behind square nicely and perhaps came in at No. 3 due to the left-hand, right-hand combination. It was an incredible knock of the highest standard, and I think that’s key for him moving forward in this tournament,” Williamson said. “Rajasthan Royals have several other talented batters, but today, Nitish was the match-winner. That said, in a game like this—on a surface where the margins are so fine—I believe Rajasthan Royals’ fielding is what truly got them across the line,” he added.

Australia’s Marcus Stoinis returned to the Punjab Kings after almost a decade and said he was excited to work with head coach Ricky Ponting. He also praised the young Indian batters like Priyansh Arya who has put the league on notice with his performance in Tuesday’s match against Gujarat Titans. Arya made a blistering 47 off 23 deliveries with his innings going a long way in helping the Punjab Kings post a massive 243 against the Titans. “There’s great depth here (in Indian cricket)_. There always has been. And I think they’re getting the chance to show their skills on a world stage. They are super confident. They’ve had almost the advantage of growing up with IPL, being under pressure from early stages in their career. It’s brilliant to see how fearless they are with their cricket and especially (while playing for) Indian cricket (team),” Stoinis said.
