Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's phenomenal performance against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 helped the Rajasthan Royals (RR) clinch their third victory of the season. After the win, Sooryavanshi took the limelight with his stunning performance and the two sixes he hit against Jasprit Bumrah in the second over. It certainly looked like the young batter was waiting to face one of the most experienced and best bowlers in cricket. 

He has been consistent with the bat, ensuring a senior team call-up anytime soon after the IPL 2026. The 15-year-old batter received praises from many former cricketers and players who saw him bat, not just in the IPL but in other tournaments and series as well.

Harsha Bhogle praises youngster’s breakthrough performance

Commentator Harsha Bhogle had some strong words for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after his astounding knock against MI in the IPL 2026. Not just the IPL, the young prodigy has proven himself as one of the best strikers of the ball in the last couple of years, and he just keeps on improving with each passing day. This is surely known as passion and love for the game. 

"You know what, the whole world is looking at Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and saying where will be go again. Where will he go from here? To his parents, well done! Congratulations. I am just watching him blank, blind, and he's just taking my breath away. I don't want it to stop. We have found ourselves a gem. Wow. I can't wait to watch him bat again," said Harsha Bhogle.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi impresses with stunning knock vs MI

The 15-year-old batter played a 39-run knock in just 14 balls, hitting one boundary and five massive sixes against MI on Tuesday. The knock helped RR get off to a great start in the match and post 150 runs in just 11 overs. Moreover, while Sooryavanshi handled one end, Yashasvi Jaiswal kept the runs flowing from the other end. 

Two of the best strikers of the ball, Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi, wreaked havoc on senior bowlers yesterday. RR captain Riyan Parag would be content with the team's performance now that they have won three consecutive games. Thanks to Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi's knock, RR won by 27 runs against MI.
