Netizens were all praise for Rajasthan Royals’ batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s spectacular 93-run knock against the Lucknow Super Giants. Both teams clashed in RR’s last home game of the season at SMS Stadium, Jaipur on May 19. After being asked to bat first, the Rishabh Pant-led side put up a 220-run total with the loss of five wickets. Openers Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis put up 57-ball 96 runs and 29-ball 60 runs, respectively.

In return, RR’s top-batting order not only came up with a remarkable batting display, but also guided the team to their first win in Jaipur in the season. Stand-in skipper Yashasvi Jaiswal put up 43 runs in 23 balls while Vaibhav Sooryavanshi recorded 93 runs in 38 balls. The 15-year-old batter hit seven boundaries and 10 maximums, but ended up missing his well-deserving century by seven runs. Apart from him, wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel recorded an unbeaten knock of 53 runs in 38 balls to help the side end home-campaign for the season with a seven-wicket win.
