At the Sawai Man Singh Stadium, Vaibhav Suryavanshi‘s performance was nothing short of a miracle as the 14-year-old batsman utterly destroyed the Gujarat Titans’ (GT) highly skilled bowling attack. The RR team ultimately ended their five-game losing streak during this inning as well.
Numerous experts have shared their thoughts on the innings and emphasised how happy they are to witness a 14-year-old U19 cricket player thrashing some of the tournament’s top bowlers all over the pitch. Former India opener and cricket pundit Aakash Chopra was among the experts who appeared to have enjoyed the innings. He has stated that he has enhanced the tournament’s grandeur and disclosed his circumstances at the same age as Suryavanshi, who gained notoriety right away following the historic knock in Jaipur.
His century off just 35 balls was the fastest by an Indian and the second-fastest in IPL history. In the history of men’s Twenty20 cricket, no child younger than him has ever hit a hundred runs. At the age of 14, what have you done? On his YouTube channel, Chopra stated, “Is tournament ka vaibhav badha diya (he has increased this tournament’s grandeur).”
“His name is Sooryavanshi, and he performed a similar task. When you were fourteen years old, you may wonder what you were doing. “This kid is not just scoring runs in the IPL, he scored a hundred, and it was unimaginable the way he scored it,” the former KKR opener continued. “I was trying to get close to Delhi cricket when I was 14 years old.”
Atisundar Vaibhav: Aakash Chopra was said by all.
Aakash Chopra continued by discussing his bold approach, particularly while facing a bowling attack that included elite players like Rashid Khan, Ishant Sharma, and Prasidh Krishna. Chopra also discussed GT all-rounder Karim Janat’s 30-run over, which he suffered as well.
Whether it was against Rashid Khan, Prasidh Krishna, or Ishant Sharma, he continued to blast sixes once he got going. Karim Janat was dismissed for 30 runs in his opening over and has a respectable T20 career. Everyone exclaimed “atisundar Vaibhav” as Washington Sundar arrived. “His batting was simply amazing,” Chopra remarked.
