The 15-year-old\u2019s explosive start was memorable, but it was Siraj\u2019s execution under pressure\u2014and Ashish Nehra\u2019s tactical reminders\u2014that ultimately swung the momentum.<\/p>\n<h2>Sooryavanshi\u2019s electric start vs Siraj<\/h2>\n<p>Facing Mohammed Siraj, Sooryavanshi launched the first ball he received for a huge six over long-on, setting an aggressive tone right away. He then kept the pressure on through the powerplay, continuing to find the boundary with a mix of fours and sixes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On his first delivery against Siraj, Sooryavanshi cleared the fence for a six over long-on.<\/li>\n<li>In the third over, he struck three fours off Siraj.<\/li>\n<li>After an initial burst of scoring, he was also seen hitting two sixes off Kagiso Rabada.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The dismissal: a bouncer executed perfectly<\/h2>\n<p>Even as it seemed like Sooryavanshi might cruise through the experienced India pacer, Siraj delivered a turning point. The decisive ball was a bouncer clocked at 146.6 kph, which forced Sooryavanshi to hurry onto his stroke.<\/p>\n<p>The delivery carried off the top edge and flew to the right of short fine leg, where Arshad Khan took the catch. In the moments before the wicket, Gujarat Titans coach Ashish Nehra was seen gesturing to Siraj\u2014emphasising smart bowling and sticking to the plan. After the dismissal, Siraj reacted with visible fury.<\/p>\n<p>The moment was framed as a \u201crevenge week\u201d twist, highlighting the impact of Siraj and Nehra\u2019s execution under pressure.<\/p>\n<h2>Record-setting teenager and GT\u2019s chase-building innings<\/h2>\n<p>Sooryavanshi\u2019s outing came on the back of a remarkable milestone story in men\u2019s T20 cricket. The Rajasthan Royals teenager scripted history by becoming the quickest and youngest batter to reach 100 sixes, doing it in only 29 innings. He also reached the landmark in terms of balls faced faster than anyone else, taking just 514 deliveries to get there.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2026 IPL season up to that point, he had been Rajasthan\u2019s leading run-getter with 440 runs from 11 innings, maintaining an average of 40.00 and a strike rate of 236.55. His season haul included one century and two fifties.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the match itself started with Gujarat Titans posting a commanding total. Guided by polished fifties from captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, and supported by a late surge from Washington Sundar, GT finished on 229\/4 in 20 overs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gujarat Titans reached 200+ thanks to fifties from Shubman Gill (84 off 44) and Sai Sudharsan (55 off 36).<\/li>\n<li>Washington Sundar added a late cameo of 37* off 20 balls.<\/li>\n<li>RR\u2019s stand-in captain Yashasvi Jaiswal won the toss and put GT in to bat, stepping in for the injured Riyan Parag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How the Titans built their 229\/4<\/h3>\n<p>With the Titans chasing momentum from the outset, the three batting contributions\u2014Gill, Sudharsan, and Sundar\u2014formed the backbone of the total. Gill\u2019s 84 and Sudharsan\u2019s 55 ensured the innings stayed on track, while Sundar\u2019s late burst of 37 not out helped GT set a steep target of 230 for Rajasthan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vaibhav Sooryavanshi looked unstoppable in Rajasthan Royals\u2019 pursuit of 230 against Gujarat Titans, ripping into the new ball with
