Netizens flooded social media with memes and praises for Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal as they went all guns blazing against Mumbai Indians. The Rajasthan Royals were up against the Indians in the 13th match of the IPL 2026 on Tuesday. The second home game of the season for the Royals was hit by rain gods and saw a delayed start. The clash was reduced to 11 overs on each side, and visiting captain Hardik Pandya invited the hosts to put the score on the scoreboard first.

While the visitors were aiming for a rebound from their recent loss, it seemed that the 2008 champions weren’t in the mood to let go of their home ground advantage. The power-hitting duo of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal got off to a blistering start, raining sixes and fours at the Barsapara Stadium. The 15-year-old sophomore who was facing legendary bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the first time ever, hit consecutive sixes off his first two deliveries.
