The mindset, after all, often goes like this: opponents are human, and psychological pressure builds when your foot lands on the crease with a batter who looks \u201ctoo good\u201d to be real.<\/p>\n<p>Two days after that first encounter with Bumrah, RR were up against RCB, the defending champions of the IPL. Sooryavanshi got his first taste of IPL batting action in that match when he came on strike against Josh Hazlewood.<\/p>\n<p>Hazlewood was returning after a lengthy injury absence, and his opening over had already shown signs of rust. The probing accuracy associated with him was missing twice at the exact length and line he\u2019s known for, and Yashasvi Jaiswal punished him with a pair of sixes.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Hazlewood\u2019s next phase looked closer to his identity. The following four deliveries were described as classic Hazlewood: the ball angled across the left-handed batter, climbed awkwardly, and finished over the top of off stump, denying Jaiswal the space to swing freely. On the occasion Jaiswal did attempt to free his arms, he edged to the keeper. That was followed by three dot balls and a wicket\u2014an over that swung back in Hazlewood\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n<p>In Hazlewood\u2019s next over, he bowled to Sooryavanshi for the first time in his life. The delivery was of a similar mould, but arguably even better for a bowler\u2019s case: it straightened off the deck more substantially, cramping the teenager even further.<\/p>\n<p>On paper, it looked like a difficult ball for anyone\u2014especially for a batter with an exaggeratedly high backlift, a pronounced wrist cock, and a bat that flows freely through the hitting arc. The technique, as it\u2019s often described, seems designed for clean striking rather than late, on-the-fly corrections.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, Sooryavanshi made that theory look irrelevant.<\/p>\n<h2>The late adjustment that split the field<\/h2>\n<p>As the ball rose to the top of his backswing, Sooryavanshi appeared set for something like a square cut. But just as the delivery demanded a different response, his body adjusted. His front foot slid slightly towards the leg side, and his hips opened up just enough to match the new line and angle of the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Then the hands took command at the critical moment: a twist of the top hand right at the upper part of the handle, paired with a release from the bottom hand as the bat approached impact. The outcome was a bat coming down more or less vertical, with the face slightly open\u2014meeting the ball close to his body, almost behind it.<\/p>\n<p>In the field, Hazlewood had a short third and a deep point, positions that usually force a batter into a tighter angle. This time, the ball bisected that gap and ran away for four.<\/p>\n<p>It was the sort of delayed, dead-batting adjustment that fans have seen many times from Kane Williamson\u2014minimal in motion but decisive in effect. While Sooryavanshi\u2019s reputation meant nothing could truly surprise you, the quality of the late manipulation still stood out: control over bat speed, bat face, and the exact timing of the contact.<\/p>\n<h2>Jurel\u2019s back-cut, a quick exchange, and what it means on the wicket<\/h2>\n<p>In the next over, Dhruv Jurel played a neat back-cut off Abhinandan Singh. The shot itself wasn\u2019t framed as a difficult one\u2014because Abhinandan provided width\u2014but the manner of it carried the same theme of subtle hand-work. On television, the two batters were seen exchanging a quick glove touch mid-pitch, and Sooryavanshi said a single word to Jurel: \u201cShot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jurel, a decade older and already a Test player, sharing the same wicket with a teenage sensation can\u2019t be easy. After the match, he admitted it was disorienting to watch someone his age execute such striking skill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you watch him, you just can\u2019t understand,\u201d Jurel said post-match. \u201cSeriously, you can\u2019t believe your eyes. How can he hit the ball like that? Even I\u2019m batting on the same wicket; why isn\u2019t it happening for me? He\u2019s a great talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Inside RR\u2019s camp: Parag on the teenager away from cricket<\/h2>\n<p>For all the brilliance on the field, Sooryavanshi is still very much shaped by his age away from it. RR captain Riyan Parag described how the squad tries to keep things normal for the youngster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone loves him, loves having him around,\u201d Parag said. \u201cHe likes eating stuff, he likes going out and stuff like that, so we make sure we make that available for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a 16-year-old kid, 15-year-old, whatever it is. [He likes doing] kiddish things, and he\u2019s happy with that. He likes a lot of batting [at the nets], so we make sure that that is presented to him, and if he keeps on batting like that, I think [he can do] whatever he wants.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Guwahati impact: 78 off 26 and the chase that changed shape<\/h2>\n<p>Sooryavanshi is only 11 matches into his IPL journey, yet each innings has seemed to reveal another layer. Watching him is likened to seeing a young Lionel Messi at Barcelona\u2014first recognising close control and dribbling, then realising there is more to the craft than the headline skill suggests. The comparison continues: it isn\u2019t merely about beating opponents with brute aggression; it\u2019s about understanding space and using movement and distribution to elevate everyone around him.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday night in Guwahati, Sooryavanshi appeared to bring that same effect into RR\u2019s batting. While he was in the middle, he was \u201ctonking, carving, and manipulating\u201d his way to 78 off 26 balls. At that stage, a 202-run target looked almost like a formality\u2014an easy, almost playful task.<\/p>\n<p>After his dismissal, though, the tone of the chase shifted. The 73 runs required from 71 balls turned into a more demanding proposition for RR.<\/p>\n<h2>The bigger picture: still developing, already special<\/h2>\n<p>Nothing about his rise is treated as strange or accidental by those who have watched closely. The early signs have already started to feel like the new normal, even if that normal includes moments that would have seemed impossible at the start. More layers are expected to be uncovered as his IPL story grows, but for now, Sooryavanshi\u2019s \u201cgenius\u201d is treated as an established, widely recognised part of the league\u2019s present fabric.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi did launch a six on the opening delivery he faced from Jasprit Bumrah\u2014but the more intriguing question is
