After a promising 2025 campaign that included a landmark century, he has continued to surge in IPL 2026, taking apart a list of top-tier bowlers as if reputations don\u2019t matter. Jasprit Bumrah, Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are among the names he has handled with apparent ease, and the impact has been consistent rather than occasional.<\/p>\n<h2>Revenge Week build-up: Bishop tries to find a crack<\/h2>\n<p>As IPL 2026\u2019s \u201cRevenge Week\u201d approaches, beginning May 2, former West Indies star Ian Bishop was asked to assess whether Sooryavanshi has any exploitable weakness. Bishop said he looked for one clear answer but couldn\u2019t isolate a single technical or tactical flaw. Instead, he described the teenager\u2019s strengths in two broad ways\u2014mentally and mechanically.<\/p>\n<h3>Psychology: \u201ctough\u201d enough to challenge the best<\/h3>\n<p>Bishop argued that Sooryavanshi\u2019s mental make-up is a major reason he can repeatedly take on elite pace and spin. He pointed to how the youngster approaches world-class bowlers both in practice and in actual matches, suggesting that fear or hesitation simply isn\u2019t part of his game.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bishop described Sooryavanshi as \u201ctough\u201d from a character standpoint, enabling him to go after top bowlers around the world.<\/li>\n<li>He cited observations from training sessions, including social media moments showing Jofra Archer running into Sooryavanshi and being struck for the pull shot and lofted shots.<\/li>\n<li>Bishop also referenced Sooryavanshi\u2019s ability to confront Jasprit Bumrah, reinforcing his view that the youngster\u2019s mindset is built to handle pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Technique: a baseball-style bat swing<\/h3>\n<p>Where Bishop believes Sooryavanshi stands out is the way he uses his bat. He said the teenager\u2019s swing resembles a baseball-style motion, which he feels helps him generate power and timing in T20 cricket.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bishop said the effectiveness of Sooryavanshi\u2019s batting comes partly from a unique bat swing.<\/li>\n<li>He likened the movement to a baseball-style swing rather than a conventional cricket-only approach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The \u201cback-of-a-length\u201d question<\/h2>\n<p>Even with his praise, Bishop didn\u2019t ignore the idea of a weakness. He said that deliveries on a back-of-a-length area can trouble Sooryavanshi, and he connected that observation to dismissals he has seen across age-group cricket. However, he stressed that the bowler still needs to land the ball precisely\u2014otherwise the risk is immediate, with the ball capable of being dispatched for six.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bishop suggested that back-of-a-length deliveries are the type that can bother Sooryavanshi.<\/li>\n<li>He linked the point to an example from this month, where Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Praful Hinge used a back-of-a-length delivery to dismiss the Rajasthan Royals opener for a duck.<\/li>\n<li>Bishop added that the plan only works if the delivery is executed perfectly; if not, Sooryavanshi can punish it, including by taking it over the boundary.<\/li>\n<li>He noted that in U-19 World Cup matches earlier this year, the back-of-a-length ball had troubled Sooryavanshi on three or four occasions against Sunrisers Hyderabad.<\/li>\n<li>But he argued that if the bowler doesn\u2019t hit that back-of-a-length spot where Sooryavanshi can be forced into early pull-and-top-edge scenarios, those same deliveries \u201cdisappear out of the park.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>His conclusion: technically, Sooryavanshi appears well set up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Opposition plans in IPL 2026\u2014and why none are definitive<\/h2>\n<p>Bishop also pointed to the tactical attempts made by IPL bowlers against Sooryavanshi this season. He said multiple strategies have been tried, and while specific plans have slowed him at times, no single approach has been consistent enough to be labelled as the clear solution.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bishop said the tournament\u2019s top bowlers have been running through several different plans against him.<\/li>\n<li>He referenced an example from commentary where he described the variety of approaches as \u201cPlan A, Plan B, Plan C, Plan E, F, and G,\u201d indicating how frequently teams have had to change their thinking.<\/li>\n<li>He said Arshdeep Singh tried to use yorkers\u2014repeating them\u2014trying to keep Sooryavanshi quiet in a previous game.<\/li>\n<li>After boundaries came, Bishop said Arshdeep switched tactics, going around the wicket and using fuller deliveries angled across.<\/li>\n<li>Bishop\u2019s assessment was that Sooryavanshi is set up well and that no one plan has yet emerged as the definitive weakness-based blueprint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Orange Cap momentum and next assignment<\/h2>\n<p>Sooryavanshi\u2019s form has translated into tangible numbers. He currently sits third in the Orange Cap charts for IPL 2026, with 400 runs from nine matches. His strike rate\u2014238.09\u2014has stood out, and he has produced a record century along with two fifties.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Runs: 400<\/li>\n<li>Matches: 9<\/li>\n<li>Strike rate: 238.09<\/li>\n<li>Notable knocks: a record century and two fifties<\/li>\n<li>Orange Cap position: third<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sooryavanshi\u2019s next opportunity comes on May 1, when the Rajasthan Royals face the Delhi Capitals in Jaipur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may define different eras of the IPL, but the league\u2019s
