Superstar Virat Kohli’s compliments can be like a standing ovation for any young cricketer, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had his moment following yet another outstanding IPL performance.
With astonishing ease, the 15-year-old continues to establish a reputation for being fearless.
After smashing Jasprit Bumrah, he targeted Australian fast Josh Hazlewood, hitting an incredible 78 off just 26 balls to help Rajasthan Royals defeat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets in Guwahati on Friday.
Following the match, Kohli signed the young player’s cap and wrote a brief but heartfelt note, saying, “Dear Vaibhav, well done.”
Additionally, the innings helped Sooryavanshi earn the Orange Cap by propelling him to the top of this season’s run charts.
The defending champions suffered their first defeat of the season, while the Rajasthan Royals remained undefeated with four straight victories.
