In the IPL 2026 match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI), 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi delivered a stunning performance, scoring 39 runs off just 14 balls. His aggressive batting included hitting two sixes off renowned bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who is celebrated as one of the best bowlers in the world. Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar, a self-proclaimed MI fan, expressed his admiration for Sooryavanshi's skill during a discussion on JioHotstar, stating that the young batter's ability to dominate Bumrah was exceptional. Gavaskar remarked that not even seasoned players have managed to take on Bumrah as effectively as Sooryavanshi did, emphasizing the quality of the shots that were not merely fortunate but well-executed. Sooryavanshi's performance has sparked discussions about his potential in the sport, especially after he smashed a 131kph delivery from Bumrah for a first-ball six over mid-on.
