In a conversation on Doordarshan, the Rajasthan Royals opener laid out his mindset at the crease, the role of family support in shaping his journey, and why he thinks match-turning impact is possible whenever he is given time at the wicket.<\/p>\n<h2>Mindset at the crease and long-term India ambition<\/h2>\n<p>Sooryavanshi described a simple guiding principle: while he is batting and using his skills, he believes he can take control and make it difficult for the opposition to hold their nerve. He also said he has discussed his progress with his father and explained how those talks have fueled his goals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He feels that as long as he is applying his abilities at the crease, he can \u201csnatch the match\u201d from opponents in tight situations.<\/li>\n<li>He said he spoke with his father, who told him that Sooryavanshi has already completed half of his father\u2019s dream, but still has more to achieve.<\/li>\n<li>His stated focus is to play the World Cup for India\u2019s senior team, with the same shared ambition every player carries\u2014represent the country and win for India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Saba Karim\u2019s take: power first, technique later<\/h2>\n<p>Former India cricketer Saba Karim, who also took part in the discussion, praised Sooryavanshi\u2019s natural ability to hit the ball cleanly and deliver impact quickly. Karim drew a comparison to the kind of power Sachin Tendulkar showed at a similar stage of his development, while also stressing that raw strength is different from technical refinement.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Karim said Sooryavanshi\u2019s power is greater than what he saw from Sachin Tendulkar at a comparable age, specifically referring to power rather than technique.<\/li>\n<li>He pointed to details such as bat speed, the swing, and a high back-lift, calling them \u201cunbelievable.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Karim argued that such traits cannot be manufactured purely through coaching, suggesting they are largely present by birth.<\/li>\n<li>He also made a clear distinction between sheer power and technical polish, implying that Sooryavanshi\u2019s biggest strength currently comes from natural hitting ability rather than structured training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>IPL 2026 impact: blistering strike rate for Rajasthan Royals<\/h2>\n<p>Sooryavanshi\u2019s confidence is backed by early-season output in the Indian Premier League 2026. For Rajasthan Royals, the opener has been delivering at an extraordinary pace, accumulating runs across a short span of matches.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In IPL 2026 so far, he has scored 246 runs in six matches.<\/li>\n<li>His strike rate stands at 236.53, reflecting how aggressively he is converting starts into scoring bursts.<\/li>\n<li>He has been operating as an opener for Rajasthan Royals during this run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, just 15 years old, has spoken with confidence about how he wants to approach his cricket and what he
