Vaibhav Suryavanshi: Out on zero after a record breaking century

Vaibhav Suryavanshi: Star fell from the clouds of expectations!

The journey of 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi who surprised the cricket world by scoring a century in 35 balls a few days ago, came to a sudden halt on Thursday. In the match played between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Vaibhav was out on zero off just 2 balls. This dramatic turn happened with the same player who had scored the second fastest century in IPL history four days ago.

Deepak Chahar’s magic: Expectations shattered in the very first over!

Mumbai Indians bowler Deepak Chahar sent Vaibhav to the pavilion by giving an easy catch at mid-on on the second ball of the first over. Vaibhav tried to hit Chahar’s full length ball up but due to the timing being wrong, the ball went straight into the hands of Will Jacks. The young batsman’s face was filled with disappointment as his team had to chase a huge target of 218 runs.

From century to zero: Vaibhav’s rollercoaster journey!

Vaibhav surprised everyone by scoring 101 runs in 35 balls against Gujarat Titans on 28 April. His performance was not only the record of the youngest centurion but also a glimpse of the future of Indian cricket. But this failure against Mumbai proved how important consistency is on a platform like IPL.

Mumbai’s explosive performance: Sawai Mansingh’s new record!

Losing the toss and batting first, Mumbai Indians scored a huge score of 217/2, which became the highest total of IPL on this ground. Rohit Sharma (53 runs) and Ryan Rickelton (61 runs) laid the foundation with an opening partnership of 116 runs. After this, Hardik Pandya (48* runs) and Suryakumar Yadav (48* runs) put Mumbai in a strong position by making a stormy partnership of 94 runs in 44 balls.

Rajasthan’s concern: Are hopes of playoffs fading away?

Vaibhav’s duck and the failure of the batting unit saw Rajasthan Royals bowled out for 117, giving Mumbai a comfortable 100-run win. The loss pushes RR to the 8th spot on the points table, where they now have 6 points (12 matches). The playoff chances are all but over as the team now needs a net run rate miracle in addition to winning two matches in a row.

Will Vaibhav get a second chance?

The biggest challenge now facing the 14-year-old young star is mental strength. There are many examples in cricket history where young talents bounced back after initial setbacks. RR head coach Kumar Sangakkara said after the match, “Vaibhav is our future. He needs to be given time.”

Mumbai’s win: Lead in the playoff race!

With this win, Mumbai Indians have added 14 points (12 matches) to take the third spot on the points table. This performance of the team reflects their balanced game, where both batting and bowling departments have coordinated.

Conclusion: Vaibhav’s journey is not over yet!

This failure of Vaibhav Suryavanshi is just a small phase in his career. Age and talent are in his favor. The question is, will he be able to turn this pressure into an opportunity? His return in the next match will be watched by all.
