Sooryavanshi had already been labelled the IPL\u2019s fastest-century record-breaker by then.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhen asked how it felt to be \u201cplotting the dismissal\u201d of a 14-year-old, Boult caught the humour immediately, laughing at the premise. He then shifted to the practical side of the challenge, stressing that while he\u2019d faced outstanding hitters worldwide\u2014including Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers\u2014this tournament demands a particular kind of preparation. The tone was clear: it wasn\u2019t about worry, it was about an exciting, demanding matchup with a youngster who looked fearless and was arriving with momentum.<\/p>\n
The very next day, though, the script briefly swung. Two balls into the game, Sooryavanshi went for a big swing through mid-on, mistimed it, and was caught for a second-ball duck. The established bowlers didn\u2019t get a longer look at him, and the day\u2019s spotlight cooled quickly\u2014leaving Boult and the rest to focus on the broader contest.<\/p>\n
What Boult and Bumrah couldn\u2019t fully demonstrate in Jaipur is what appeared less than a year later, after the \u201cromance and frustration\u201d of rain had washed over proceedings and the business of T20 cricket resumed properly. By then, Sooryavanshi had turned 15 and had become someone opponents clearly felt they needed to contain, not just watch.<\/p>\n
Planned matchups: Sooryavanshi vs the new ball\u2019s toughest<\/h3>\n
He hadn\u2019t simply flared for a moment; his early returns had convinced teams he was ready for the biggest stages. The conversation in MI\u2019s setup had moved from \u201chow do we stop him?\u201d to \u201chow do we control him?\u201d\u2014and that meant direct, deliberate bowling plans. Bumrah, after Deepak Chahar was struck for 22 runs in the opening over, received the first real crack at Sooryavanshi, and the Royals also ensured Sooryavanshi faced the world\u2019s most difficult tests rather than drifting into a safer rhythm.<\/p>\n
The plan for the Royals\u2019 openers was explicit: Jaiswal would handle Chahar, while Sooryavanshi would take on Bumrah. The outcome arrived immediately. On the first ball, Sooryavanshi flicked it over long-on and cleared the boundary to get off the mark. Three balls later, he swivel-pulled the pacer deep into the stands at backward square leg\u2014an early statement that wasn\u2019t just timing, but confidence under pressure.<\/p>\n
Boult\u2019s task looked just as daunting in his own over. He missed a yorker and was punished with a six over backward square leg off the kind of contact that turns \u201cgood bowling\u201d into \u201cunlucky bowling\u201d in the blink of an eye. Respect for the craft of Bumrah and Boult could wait; the priority was simple\u2014Sooryavanshi had to stamp authority, and his opening partner\u2019s pace was already setting the baseline.<\/p>\n
There was also a larger context to the batting freedom. Rain had delayed the start and reduced the encounter to an 11-over-per-side contest. Mumbai had the toss advantage, and the Royals needed a big total to make sure the chase stayed out of reach. Sooryavanshi didn\u2019t need an invitation to hunt\u2014his hitting looked almost automatic, with few, if any, deliveries that could be labelled a \u201cwrong choice\u201d.<\/p>\n
For stretches, he attacked as if the match were a free-range hitting session. Rohit Sharma showed frustration, while Bumrah and Hardik were forced to return with altered plans after watching Sooryavanshi keep taking the ball on his terms. Even so, Mumbai\u2019s pace options were international-grade and experienced, yet they still struggled to land the ball on the stumps line often enough to disrupt him.<\/p>\n
Across the innings, only three times did Mumbai manage to hit the stumps line directly at Sooryavanshi, leaving them uncertain they could make him truly pay. Instead, their approach leaned defensive\u2014trying to cramp him for space, or forcing shots on the offside. That tactic was designed to neutralise his powerful hip rotation and his wide, swinging bat, but Sooryavanshi kept refusing to be dragged into a lesser version of his game.<\/p>\n
Jayawardene\u2019s critique and the dismissal that ended the run<\/h3>\n
Mahela Jayawardene, Mumbai\u2019s head coach, criticised the team\u2019s ball-by-ball execution, pointing to how Sooryavanshi and Jaiswal had escaped early momentum. That early surge included 80 runs within five overs, and it set the tone for a Royals result. The irony, Jayawardene\u2019s logic suggested, was that Sooryavanshi\u2019s eventual dismissal came from a plan that sounded straightforward on paper\u2014move the ball away from his preferred arc, make him manufacture an offside shot, and place a fielder there.<\/p>\n
Sooryavanshi still didn\u2019t get stuck in the trap. Eventually, though, he holed out to Tilak Varma in the battle of egos\u2014ending an innings that had carried entertainment through a rain-shortened wait. Before the end, he struck 17 runs off Shardul Thakur in just four deliveries. In one of those moments, he went after the deep extra cover area and was caught, bringing the spectacle to a stop.<\/p>\n
His batting has been so forceful that it has threatened to push Jaiswal further into the background, even as Jaiswal\u2019s destructive streak and consistency remain central to Rajasthan\u2019s success. The numbers underline that point: Jaiswal has compiled 1619 runs across the last three seasons, striking at more than 160. In the current season, he has already made 170 runs across three innings at a strike rate of 163.46.<\/p>\n
Against Mumbai on Tuesday, Jaiswal again shaped the innings. While Sooryavanshi responded to Bumrah, Boult and Shardul with his own brand of aggression, Jaiswal smashed 37 off his first 11 balls, highlighted by a 22-run over against Deepak Chahar that set the pace. Even though his scoring accelerated less after that surge, his 32-ball 77 not out remained decisive in helping the Royals notch their third successive win of the season.<\/p>\n
At 24, Jaiswal is still a young Indian opener, but there\u2019s a difference in maturity when compared to a teenager like Sooryavanshi. Nearly a decade separates them, and that gap shows up in how Jaiswal has started managing the opening setup\u2014more responsibility, more control, and a more settled command. Yet Sooryavanshi\u2019s standards of attacking bowlers have also pushed Jaiswal to raise his own level.<\/p>\n
After the match versus Mumbai Indians, Jaiswal summed it up plainly: \u201cThe way he has been playing, it\u2019s tremendous. He\u2019s working so hard. So I also get motivated\u2014okay, I also need to develop some different shots.\u201d<\/p>\n
MI\u2019s attack, even at its most intense, could not fully contain the duo\u2019s momentum. Hardik Pandya, the skipper, and head coach Jayawardene both suggested that it came down to a margin of five balls\u2014specifically, five sixes that could have swung the contest by clearing a 27-run gap and taking the chase over the line. Simple as that sounds, the reality in T20 cricket is harsher: five sixes in a rain-reduced, 66-ball-per-side situation can be the difference between control and collapse.<\/p>\n
The contest\u2019s direction was set while Sooryavanshi was at the centre of it, and after that, Mumbai never looked truly capable of overturning the target. The Royals delivered a comprehensive performance, anchored by Jaiswal\u2019s batting, but once again Sooryavanshi stole the show\u2014even if his impact came in only 14 balls. He is no longer merely the promise of what might happen in the future; he is proof of what is happening right now, and his abilities are no longer being underestimated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
