IPL 2026 has seen the emergence of 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, whose fearless batting has already created significant apprehension among bowlers. During a match between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals, Mohammed Siraj's animated celebration of Sooryavanshi's wicket underscored the teenager's growing reputation. Sooryavanshi's innings began aggressively, immediately striking Siraj for a six and later taking on Kagiso Rabada for two more maximums.
Siraj, visibly frustrated by Sooryavanshi's onslaught, conferred with Gujarat Titans' skipper Shubman Gill. Notably, head coach Ashish Nehra was observed advising Siraj from the dugout, signaling a change in strategy. Responding to the tactical guidance, Siraj delivered a sharp 146.6 kph bouncer that resulted in Sooryavanshi playing a leading edge to a catch, ending his impactful knock.
Earlier in the game, Gujarat Titans posted a formidable 229/4, propelled by Shubman Gill's 84 and Sai Sudharsan's 55. Washington Sundar also contributed a quick 37. For Rajasthan Royals, Brijesh Sharma was the most effective bowler, taking two wickets.
