Vaibhav Sooryavanshi IPL 2026: The Indian Premier League has long been a platform for emerging stars to announce themselves, but few have captured attention quite like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. At just 15, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener has already made a remarkable impact, showcasing fearless strokeplay, consistently taking on bowlers across the park. Having made his debut at the age of 14 and registering a century (even at the youth international level), Vaibhav’s rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. But despite all the success, he continues to wear his emotions on his sleeve, often showing visible frustration after getting dismissed.

Against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Vaibhav blazed 78 off just 26 balls, a knock that left the opposition reeling. He was named Player of the Match and later asked about his reactions after getting out. Here’s what he said:
“If I stay at the wicket, we could add another 10-20 runs to the total. If we’re chasing, we could finish the game two overs earlier, if we’re setting a target, we could score 10-20 more runs. So, I feel disappointed that I’m getting out playing loose shots, which ends up hurting the team, that’s why I get a bit upset.”
Courtesy of Sooryanshi’s knock, and Dhruv Jurel’s 81 off 43, RR chased the 202-run target set by RCB with 6 wickets in hand, and 12 balls to spare.
