South African great Dale Steyn can't stop himself from admiring Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The 15-year-old opener put everyone in awe when he welcomed Jasprit Bumrah with a maximum. A couple of balls later, one of the best pacers of all-time dispatched for another maximum.
Last night at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi played another blistering knock. Fans were excited to see the duel between Vaibhav and Jasprit.
In the 11-over match, Rajasthan Royals secured a massive total of 150, thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal's unbeaten 77 and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's 39. The young opener needed only 14 balls to score 39 with a strike rate of 278.57. In this innings, the latter smashed five 6s and one 4. In those five 6s, two he hit in the first over of Jasprit Bumrah.
Dale Steyn, former South Africa pacer, described that Sooryavanshi might have put fear in the bowlers, which is why even the great like Jasprit Bumrah delivered into the arch of the batter to concede a first-ball six.
Sooryavanshi created and instilled fear into bowlers: Dale Steyn
“I think that's what he's done. I mean, honestly, he's created and instilled the fear into bowlers that he's going to hit you for boundaries. That delivery from Bumrah. That's in the slot. That's so rare of Bumrah. So even the great Bumrah is thinking in the back of his mind: 'don't get it wrong; because if I get it wrong, this guy's going to hit me for six’,” Steyn said about Bumrah’s first ball to Sooryavanshi on ESPNcricinfo's TimeOut show.
“I feel, if you think like that, more often than not, you do get it wrong. You can see even when he's hit him for six, he [Bumrah] almost started to laugh afterwards and then go, 'I knew that was going to happen if I got it wrong'," Dale Steyn further explained the scenario.
Dale Steyn mentioned how the bowlers could get rid of Sooryavanshi quickly
Steyn explained why he marvelled at the batting of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The former pacer explained that the young batter knows how to perform without any fear. Steyn suggested blowers to drag the length back as full-length balls against Sooryavanshi will fly into the crowd.
"And this kid's not scared, man. If you miss a half-volley, he's going to hit you out of the ground. So drag your length back and hit a good length, and you might be on the money with him. Miss and you're travelling the distance. It doesn't matter who you are, Bumrah or Joe Average. You know, so that's fantastic batting," he explained.
After the Rajasthan Royals match, MI and Team India's pace spearhead remain wicketless for three consecutive matches in the ongoing Indian Premier League season. And the Mumbai Indians, they tried well with the bat but lost to the Royals because of a batting collapse in the top order.
