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.”
Everyone said atisundar Vaibhav: Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra went onto talk about the fearless appraoch he had especially while facing a bowling attack which featured some world class names in the form of Ishant Sharma, Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan. Chopra also talked about the 30-run-over from GT all rounder Karim Janat who faced the onslaught as well.
“When he started hitting sixes, he kept hitting them, whether it was against Ishant Sharma, Prasidh Krishna or Rashid Khan. Karim Janat has a decent T20 career, and he was taken for 30 runs in his first over. When Washington Sundar came, everyone said atisundar Vaibhav. His batting was absolutely incredible,” Chopra said.
