Tuesday night was in the name of Rajasthan Royals’ young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The start was a bit slow, at one time he was playing after scoring only 11 runs in 12 balls, but what happened after that exposed the bowling attack of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Vaibhav scored 93 runs in just 38 balls to give Rajasthan Royals a resounding victory by 7 wickets. With this victory, Rajasthan has strengthened its position in the race for the playoffs.

Now Rajasthan Royals will have to defeat Mumbai Indians, who are struggling with poor form, in their last league match to secure the playoff ticket.

However, after Tuesday’s victory, Rajasthan Royals have overtaken the remaining three teams and have come to the forefront in this race.

Target of 221 proved to be dwarf in front of Vaibhav

On Tuesday, once again the magic of 15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi came to the fore on the field. He hit 10 skyscraper sixes during his inning of 93 runs in 38 balls. Everyone was surprised to see his bat speed and amazing reflexes. Vaibhav, who is ready to go on the tour of Dublin (Ireland) with the senior Indian team next month, may have missed his third IPL century by just 7 runs, but before getting out, he had made the match completely one-sided.

Earlier, Lucknow Super Giants had scored a huge score of 220 runs thanks to Mitch Marsh’s brilliant inning of 96 runs in 57 balls. It seemed that this run chase would be difficult for Rajasthan, but in front of Vaibhav’s storm, this mountain-like target of 221 runs also looked very easy and Rajasthan won the match by 7 wickets.
