In the IPL 2026 match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Rajasthan Royals (RR) emerged victorious by eight wickets at the Assam Cricket Association Stadium in Guwahati.
RR`s young batsman Vaibhav Sooryavanshi played a knock of 52 runs off just 17 deliveries, which was laced with four boundaries and five maximums.
Speaking about him, star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja said that he has a fearless mindset. He also said that it was a difficult pitch to bat on, but the left-handed batsman still managed to hit big shots.
“Can`t bowl him into the stumps in nets, he smashes every ball into the stands. Vaibhav has a very fearless mindset. Because he bats in the net the same way as he bats in the match. The batting that Vaibhav did today, it wasn`t that easy. The new ball was swinging. It was so difficult, yet he was hitting big shots and scored 50 runs in just a few balls,” he said.
When asked about Jadeja, Sooryavanshi said that the all-rounder has a lot of knowledge. The youngster also said that it is fun to face Jadeja during the net sessions.
“He has been playing in all three formats for India for a long time. He has a lot of experience. He knows everything about which batsman is going to do. He has so much knowledge because he is a big player. He knows where to bowl. It`s obvious that if I am batting against him. It`s a little tough, but it`s fun in the competition,” said the 15-year-old cricketer.
RR will clash against the Gujarat Titans (GT) on April 4 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
