IPL 2026: Sooryavanshi A Proper Superstar, Really Excited To See How He Goes, Says Smith
SA20 Commissioner Graeme Smith: Former South Africa captain and SA20 Commissioner Graeme Smith has described Rajasthan Royals batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as a "proper superstar" and expressed excitement over how he will go in the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.
Sooryavanshi, aged just 15 years and 12 days, recently grabbed headlines by passing the ultimate acid test against the Mumbai Indians at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati. Facing the world's premier fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, Sooryavanshi showcased his fearless approach by depositing a 131.2kph delivery into the stands for a maximum.
In all, Sooryavanshi has amassed 122 runs in three IPL 2026 innings so far. “The IPL has started exactly how I expected it to, with flatter pitches and high-scoring games. As always, it’s interesting to see how the old school superstars like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli perform, but I think this youngster for the Rajasthan Royals, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, is the one to watch in the opening few weeks.
