It was the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who guided Rajasthan Royals to a comfortable victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2026 Eliminator match on Wednesday. The young sensation smashed 97 off just 29 deliveries to leave everyone stunned as well. And, RR fast bowler Jofra Archer was excited when he was asked about Sooryavanshi’s performance as well.

He said, “It was very exciting. The more runs he scores, the more runs we have to defend. He can get 150″. When asked about where should one bowl to Vaibhav, the England fast bowler was all smiles and he came up with a cryptic answer – “I’ll tell you after the IPL.”

Meanwhile, Dhruv Jurel, who also played a quick fifty, praised the teenager’s knock and also said that the young batter backs himself and has no doubt in himself too.

“Best thing about Vaibhav is that he doesn’t plan anything, because he practices a lot, and he always backs himself. That’s what he does every time he goes out and plays. So the best thing about him is that he backs himself and he doesn’t have that shadow of doubt that I’m not able to do it,” said Jurel in a post-match press conference.

“When you go to the academy, you are told not to watch the bowler, but the ball. And we, as a 17-year-old kid, we always used to watch the bowler. But he [Sooryavanshi] just watches the ball. That’s all his mantra. He doesn’t give a damn about any bowler. He just wants to play the ball. That’s all,” he again said.

However, Dhruv Jurel has been consistent for RR with the bat and has scored 508 runs this season with 46 fours and 24 sixes as well. His 50-run knock in the do-or-die match against SRH came in just 21 balls and had three sixes and five fours to his name as well.
