Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s mantra is ‘I don’t give a damn about any bowler’: Dhruv Jurel

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s mantra is ‘I don’t give a damn about any bowler’: Dhruv Jurel

Published by Webster

2 min readUpdated: May 28, 2026 05:00 PM IST Vaibhav Sooryavanshi may have caught the imagination of the cricketing world with his exploits this season in the 2026 IPL but the secret to his success lies in the simplicity of his approach, according to his Rajasthan Royals teammate Dhruv Jurel. Jurel had himself played an impressive knock against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator on Wednesday – a 21-ball 50, but he and almost every player who took the field was overshadowed by Sooryavanshi’s record-breaking knock. The 15-year-old smashed 97 in 29 balls and over the course of the innings, he broke Chris Gayle’s record for most sixes in an IPL season. He also fell just three runs short of Gayle’s record for fastest IPL century. “The best thing about Vaibhav that I have noticed is that he doesn’t plan anything,” Dhruv Jurel said at the post-match press conference. “Because he practices a lot and he always backs himself. That’s what he does every time he goes out and plays. The best thing about him is …

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi shines as RR eliminate SRH to reach IPL 2026 Qualifier 2

Published by Webster

Cricket’s young prince Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is enjoying the pressure of conquering the kings of the world game. In the bust-or-boom Eliminator, he bested Sunrisers Hyderabad’s power pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma; he reduced Pat Cummins to the depths of humiliation; he made the world wonder again of his glowing potential. Is it bottomless? The more one thinks one has fathomed his genius, the more unfathomable it looks. His 29-ball 97, 72 off which came in maximums, expedited Rajasthan Royals to 243 for 8, a total Sunrisers Hyderabad fell short by 47 runs. Jofra Archer and Co completed what a 15-year-old had started. Cummins has a career longer than Sooryavanshi’s age; his honours board reads multi-format World Cups, the World Test Championship and Ashes; he has conquered the finest batsmen in the world, crushed their egos and ended their careers. But he would remember with astonishment the night a 15-year-old felled him, a boy not yet out of school schooling him. It took just three balls for the schooling to begin. Cummins had erred …

Half-centuries from Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma helped SRH chase down 229 and ensure Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s century went in vain. Sooryavanshi tees off Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had scored 54 runs across his previous three innings. For a teenager who had been one of the stories of this IPL, that was a slump. On Saturday in Jaipur, he answered it with 103 off 37 balls. The assault was immediate. Praful Hinge, who had taken three RR wickets in a single over earlier this season, found himself on the receiving end — four sixes in the opening over. Much of the damage came on the leg side, where 63 percent of Sooryavanshi’s runs were scored. He struck 12 sixes in all, eight of them between long-on and square leg. He was dropped on 32 — Aniket Verma putting down a chance off Eshan …

A Sooryavanshi special but no Hyderabad blues

A Sooryavanshi special but no Hyderabad blues

Mumbai: After launching the ball to all corners of the ground in Jaipur, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi dropped his gloves, then his helmet, and raised a salute towards his dugout. Rajasthan Royals’ Vaibhav Sooryavanshi plays a shot against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Jaipur. (PTI) These were special scenes in this IPL’s first game at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, but this wasn’t the first time the ground witnessed a Sooryavanshi special. If the 15-year-old’s maiden IPL ton last year on the same ground signalled the arrival of a sensation, his second on Saturday underlined the potential of a star. No hundred, however, not even a 36-ball blitz while blasting 12 sixes to score 103, seems enough in this IPL. And no total safe. Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) 228/6 too wasn’t, as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), chasing for the first time this season, overhauled it with five wickets and nine balls to spare. The latest stroll in the park to a 200-plus target was down to a combination of things: the pitch, the hosts’ misfiring middle order, and their poor catching. Travis …

Both the games coming into the clash have won their respective previous encounters. For SRH, skipper Pat Cummins will be available for selection. However, at the start of the campaign, there have been many questions on how the bowling attack will cope without Cummins, but just as it seemed like the bowling was settling in, Cummins’ availability will force the side to rejuggle. As per the Royals, they have had to make some desperate impact sub calls in the previous game due to the batting collapse against the Lucknow Super Giants and will be hoping that sort of situation would not arise just in tomorrow’s game, but the tournament down the line. Apart from that one blip, the team has been firing on all cylinders. Predicted XIIs Rajasthan Royals predicted XII: Yashasvi Jaiswal, …

Among the three teams remaining in contention as IPL 2024 moves into the last two matches, Kolkata Knight Riders seem the most balanced, while Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals have utilised specific strengths to overcome certain weaknesses throughout the campaign. All three teams have charted their unique paths to reach this point in the race. Of course, KKR’s batting depth and host of match-winners have booked them an early slot in the final. Find the boundary, and often Six-hitting has emerged as one of the key metrics in a season that has threatened to tip the scales in the game. Scoring rapidly has been a bigger objective than preserving wickets. Royal Challengers Bengaluru scored the most runs in the tournament while losing the most wickets. Knocked out by a relatively under-performing batting unit in RR in the Eliminator, RCB are still one of three teams to score over 10 runs per over in the season, the others two being KKR and SRH. Sunrisers have best limited the percentage of dot balls (30.21) while batting and …
