The 15-year-old has been turning starts into big scores with aggressive strokeplay, and his rapid rise is now drawing praise from established international names, including Aiden Markram, who highlighted just how impressive the youngster\u2019s hitting looks at such a young age.<\/p>\n<h2>Markram\u2019s admiration for Sooryavanshi\u2019s power-hitting<\/h2>\n<p>Aiden Markram, reacting to the teen\u2019s latest displays, said it\u2019s \u201centertaining\u201d to watch. The South African batter added that when he was 15, he didn\u2019t even think he could clear the ropes for a boundary yet, underlining how rare Sooryavanshi\u2019s impact has been for his age. Markram\u2019s comments point to the excitement surrounding the Rajasthan Royals prospect, whose confidence at the crease has become a major talking point this season.<\/p>\n<p>Sooryavanshi\u2019s rise has been widely viewed as remarkable for the way he has approached T20 batting with fearless intent and a strike-rate that quickly turns partnerships into match-changing phases. His ability to hit sixes consistently has set him apart, and he has already become a key presence for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajasthan\u2019s star-in-the-making and the 500-run milestone<\/h2>\n<p>While Rajasthan\u2019s season narrative continues to gather pace, the biggest immediate storyline revolves around Sooryavanshi\u2019s personal milestone. The teenager is just a couple of knocks away from a major landmark: he has compiled 498 runs in only 13 IPL innings and requires two more to reach 500 runs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sooryavanshi is 15 years old<\/li>\n<li>He has scored 498 runs across 13 IPL innings<\/li>\n<li>He needs 2 more runs to touch the 500-run mark<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rajasthan vs Lucknow: playoff pressure at Ekana on April 22<\/h2>\n<p>Attention now turns to a key midweek fixture with Lucknow Super Giants locking horns with Rajasthan Royals at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on April 22. The matchup carries extra tension because both teams arrive after defeats and are looking to respond quickly to keep their playoff hopes firmly alive.<\/p>\n<p>Lucknow will be aiming to restore consistency, having struggled to maintain steady performances. Rajasthan, in contrast, have looked better balanced, winning four of their six matches so far, giving them a steadier platform heading into this encounter.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Match: Lucknow Super Giants vs Rajasthan Royals<\/li>\n<li>Venue: Ekana Cricket Stadium<\/li>\n<li>Date: April 22<\/li>\n<li>Both teams are coming off defeats<\/li>\n<li>Lucknow: searching for consistency<\/li>\n<li>Rajasthan: more settled, with 4 wins from 6 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Key players, tactical battles, and what the pitch could offer<\/h2>\n<p>For Lucknow, the focus is likely to be on experienced anchors who can steady the innings\u2014Rishabh Pant and Aiden Markram are expected to play important roles in shaping the team\u2019s response. Still, T20 contests often swing on specific matchups, and individual battles could be decisive, particularly as Lucknow contend with Rajasthan\u2019s varied bowling options.<\/p>\n<p>The Ekana surface is expected to create a fairly balanced contest, with a slight advantage for teams chasing totals. With pressure rising and momentum at stake, the clash promises to be tightly fought\u2014especially with Sooryavanshi once again positioned as a central figure in the proceedings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi\u2019s momentum in IPL 2026 is showing no signs of slowing down.
