Vaibhav Sooryavanshi recently admitted to feeling nervous while facing off against Jasprit Bumrah in a thrilling IPL 2026 clash between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians. Sooryavanshi’s aggressive approach against Bumrah resulted in an entertaining battle, with the former hitting two sixes in the second over. However, he was eventually dismissed by Shardul Thakur after scoring 39 runs off 13 balls. Sooryavanshi revealed that he focused on the ball rather than the bowler to overcome his nerves. He credited his pre-match drills for helping him face the fast bowlers effectively. Despite his early dismissal, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unbeaten 77* off 32 balls helped RR reach 150/3 in 11 overs. MI fell short in their chase, scoring 123/9 as Rajasthan secured a 27-run victory. Sooryavanshi expressed regret over not being able to play a longer innings but remained optimistic about his performance in the upcoming matches. The match was delayed due to rain, but it didn’t dampen the excitement for fans as they witnessed an intense battle between two talented players.
