Sooryavanshi enjoyed a sensational IPL 2026 season with Rajasthan Royals. The left-handed batter finished as the tournament's highest run-scorer and earned his maiden India call-up. However, the southpaw is still waiting for his international debut after missing the first T20I against Ireland in Belfast on Friday.
"I first saw Vaibhav when I came in for a two-week period to Guwahati. There was this tiny, horrible little side net where the likes of Archer and Sandeep Sharma were bowling with the new ball, and no one really wanted to bat there. Then I saw Vaibhav walk in and say, 'I'll bat.' Every time he hit the ball, I could hear the sound of his bat like a gunshot," Sangakkara said.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Was Treating Jofra Archer With Absolute Disdain - Kumar Sangakkara
"And I think he just put Archer to the sword; he put Sandeep Sharma to the sword. So much so that at one time, I think Archer stopped and laughed. Because he was bowling quickly, and this 14-year-old kid was just treating him with absolute disdain," Sangakkara said.
"And that's when I saw him, and my feedback to Rahul, walking out, was, 'Yeah, ready to play anytime you want him to play. Kid's just incredible,'" he added.
