In the normal course, if someone allowed a 15-year-old to face Jasprit Bumrah, they would be reported to the authorities for endangering a child’s well-being. Bumrah bowls an awkward bouncer and an accurate yorker. He can literally do damage from head to toe.

At IPL 2025, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was dismissed before Bumrah came into the attack for the Mumbai Indians. One year later, the first ball the maestro delivered to the young left-hand bat was slightly off target, and a wristy whip sent it over long-on for six. Three balls later, Bumrah pulled back the length, and Sooryavanshi pounced again, on the back foot, swivelling, sending the ball into the stands over square-leg.
