Rajasthan Royals are set to showcase Vaibhav Suryavanshi as their opening batsman alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal in the upcoming IPL season. Despite the spotlight on Suryavanshi, captain Riyan Parag is determined to shield the young talent from media attention.
The Royals will kick off their IPL campaign against Chennai on March 30, with all eyes on the 15-year-old Suryavanshi following his impressive debut last season. He made headlines by hitting a six off his first ball and scoring a quick century in a match against Gujarat Titans. Suryavanshi also played a crucial role in India’s victory at the Under-19 World Cup.
With the departure of last season’s captain Sanju Samson, Suryavanshi will partner with Jaiswal at the top of the order. Parag emphasized the importance of Jaiswal handling the pressure, allowing Suryavanshi to play freely.
Suryavanshi, who aims to break Chris Gayle’s record for the highest individual score in the IPL, will be encouraged to focus on his game without distractions. Parag plans to limit Suryavanshi’s media interactions to ensure he remains focused on his performance.
Overall, the Royals are looking forward to seeing Suryavanshi shine on the field while protecting him from unnecessary attention off the field. The team is optimistic about the young talent’s potential in the upcoming season.
