Partnering with Yashasvi Jaiswal, the young prodigy left seasoned veterans like Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult searching for answers, leading Rajasthan Royals to their third consecutive victory of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chasing a rain-adjusted target, the opening duo unleashed a brutal assault, racing to 80 runs in just 4.6 overs. The standout moment of the night was Vaibhav hitting the world-class Jasprit Bumrah for a massive six on the very first ball he faced. This fearless approach ensured Rajasthan cruised to a comfortable win in the rain-shortened encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Post-match, Mumbai skipper Hardik Pandya was full of praise for the youngster despite his team&#8217;s loss. &#8220;Watching a 15 or 16-year-old play with such fearlessness is truly remarkable. His confidence and shot selection are top-notch,&#8221; Hardik remarked. However, Pandya didn&#8217;t hold back on criticizing his own bowlers, stating that the bowling unit failed to execute their plans under pressure. While Mumbai\u2019s batters posted a solid 123 in 11 overs, the explosive start provided by Vaibhav and Yashasvi snatched the game away from them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati witnessed a batting masterclass from a 15-year-old sensation as Vaibhav Suryavanshi tore apart the Mumbai Indians&#8217; bowling attack.
