On Tuesday, April 7, 2026, the Indian batting prodigy stood against who is known as the most lethal bowler in the current cricketing scenario- Jasprit Bumrah. The Rajasthan Royals were up against the Mumbai Indians in the 13th game of the Indian Premier League 2026. What was expected to be a thundering clash between the five-time champions and the inaugural season winners got impacted by the rain gods and saw a delayed start only to be played for 11 overs on each side.

Nevertheless, the game got off to a solid start, courtesy of the red-hot form of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal. The young batting started off with a bang and hit Mumbai bowlers for towering sixes and boundaries right from the start. Then came one of the most anticipated moments of the game- Bumrah bowling to Sooryavanshi. The 15-year-old, who has rather proven his mettle to the world, was facing the generational bowler for the first time. While fans and experts had expected him to start slow, Sooryavanshi hit Bumrah for two consecutive sixes.

How has Vaibhav Sooryavanshi performed against Jasprit Bumrah?

The RR sophomore never stood against Bumrah until Tuesday, and while other players could have felt intimidated by the star bowler, Sooryavanshi showed no signs of nerves against him. The first delivery that Sooryavanshi faced off Bumrah was a length delivery that landed on the leg-stump channel, and the youngster swung it over long-on for a six.

Two balls later, the Bihar-native batter did it again and hit a six off Bumrah’s short delivery in the leg stump. Overall, Sooryavanshi hit 13 runs off Jasprit Bumrah during their first meeting in IPL 2026. Here’s how their respective bowling and batting stats look like in the t20 tournament.
