During the IPL 2026 match between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old player for Rajasthan Royals, suffered an injury and had to leave the field. The incident occurred during the third over of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s chase of 229 runs. Sooryavanshi was seen clutching his hamstring and had to be assisted off the field by the team physio.
Prior to his injury, Sooryavanshi had put up an impressive performance by scoring his second IPL century in the match. He played a crucial role in helping his team reach a total of over 220 runs in Jaipur. Sooryavanshi reached his century in just 36 balls, which was only slightly slower than his fastest century from the previous season. Additionally, he also made history by becoming the youngest player to surpass 1000 T20 runs while achieving his century at his team’s home ground.
The match took place on April 25, 2026, and Sooryavanshi’s injury was a setback for Rajasthan Royals in their quest for victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad. It remains to be seen how long Sooryavanshi will be sidelined due to his injury and how it will impact the team’s performance in the upcoming matches.
