The noise surrounding Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s explosive 17-ball 52 against Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati has only grown louder, with calls for the BCCI to fast-track him into India’s white-ball setup after IPL 2026. Following his historic 35-ball century in the previous IPL season and his heroics in the U-19 World Cup final, Vaibhav’s recent performance has further fueled the India narrative. Despite the praise from players like Ravichandran Ashwin, caution has been urged against putting undue pressure on the young talent for an early India call-up.
Vaibhav’s innings included five sixes and four boundaries, showcasing his exceptional talent and bat speed. Ashwin lauded his performance, highlighting how he dismantled the Chennai bowling attack single-handedly. Rajasthan Royals’ dominating performance against CSK has solidified their position as a strong team in the competition. The team is set to face Gujarat Titans next on April 4 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The focus now remains on allowing Vaibhav to continue to develop and grow naturally in his cricketing journey, without rushing his progress towards international cricket.
