To stop the batter from scoring runs flawlessly, the GT pacers choose to deliver through the batter's body line of the batter. It worked. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, whose average strike rate in the IPL 2026 season was over 230, needed 30-odd balls to complete the half-century, which was the slowest in terms of his batting approach.
The pitch in Mullanpur provided the pacers with extra bounce in the first innings. Pacers of GT, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, and Jason Holder utilized the nature of the surface as much as possible. As the match progressed, Sooryavanshi, as soon as he got accustomed to the bounce, started to play his natural style of batting. In the 15th over, when Siraj guided a bouncer, the RR spurthpaw reliped with a maximum.
