Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who now holds the record for youngest cricketer to play in the IPL, wowed everyone with his fearless knock off 34 off 20 balls for Rajasthan Royals (RR).
Though his exploits ended in a losing cause as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) won by two runs, former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar lauded RR for unearthing a new wonder boy in Suryavanshi. “Just imagine — parents in their late 30s or early 40s watching this. It was unbelievable. His first two sixes came off good deliveries, and then he showed great maturity against the spinners. He impressed everyone.
