In a surprising moment during the match between the Rajasthan Royals and the Mumbai Indians in Guwahati, young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi stunned everyone by hitting a six off the very first ball bowled by Jasprit Bumrah.
The match, impacted by rain, was shortened to just 11 overs per side. As Bumrah took to the bowling crease for the second over, Sooryavanshi didn’t hesitate. He made a bold move, launching a powerful shot over long-on for six. Bumrah’s delivery, slightly off-target, was perfect for the young opener, who skillfully flicked it away.
This aggressive start set the stage early on, putting pressure on the Mumbai Indians’ bowlers. Known for his precision, Bumrah was clearly caught off guard by Sooryavanshi’s fearless approach. Despite this early challenge, Bumrah kept his cool, returning to bowl with a smile, showing he wasn’t discouraged. Yet, the 15-year-old wasn’t done; he struck another six off Bumrah in the same over, connecting with a short ball and sending it soaring over backward square leg.
### Sooryavanshi’s Impressive 39
Sooryavanshi teamed up with Yashasvi Jaiswal to kick off the innings, with Jaiswal scoring 22 runs in the first over. Bumrah’s second over conceded 14 runs, while Trent Boult faced a tough time as well, giving away 22 runs in his over. Sooryavanshi managed to rack up 39 runs off just 14 balls before Shardul Thakur claimed his wicket.
