The innings from Vaibhav Suryavanshi was no short of a miracle as the 14-year-old cricketer completely dominated the highly experienced Gujarat Titans (GT) bowling attack at the Sawai man Singh Stadium. This innings also led to the RR franchise finally breaking their five game losing streak.

There have been plenty of experts who have given their insights on the innings and have expressed their joy of seeing a young 14-year-old U19 cricketer smashing some of the best bowlers of the tournament all around the ground. One of the experts who seemed to have enjoyed the innings was former India opener and Cricket Pundit Aakash Chopra, who has not only said that he has increased the grandeur of the tournament but also revealed his situation when he was the same age as Suryavanshi who has immediately gained attention after the historic knock in jaipur.

“He scored a hundred off just 35 balls, the second-fastest in IPL history, and the fastest by an Indian. A kid younger than him has not scored a hundred in men’s T20 history. What have you done at 14 years of age? Is tournament ka vaibhav badha diya (he has increased this tournament’s grandeur),” Chopra said on his YouTube Channel.

“His name is Sooryavanshi, he also did a job like that. You might ask yourself what you were doing when you were 14 years old. I was trying to reach close to Delhi cricket when I was 14 years old, and this kid is not just scoring runs in the IPL, he scored a hundred, and it was unimaginable the way he scored it,” the former KKR opener added.

 Everyone said atisundar Vaibhav: Aakash Chopra

Aakash Chopra went onto talk about the fearless appraoch he had especially while facing a bowling attack which featured some world class names in the form of Ishant Sharma, Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan. Chopra also talked about the 30-run-over from GT all rounder Karim Janat who faced the onslaught as well.

“When he started hitting sixes, he kept hitting them, whether it was against Ishant Sharma, Prasidh Krishna or Rashid Khan. Karim Janat has a decent T20 career, and he was taken for 30 runs in his first over. When Washington Sundar came, everyone said atisundar Vaibhav. His batting was absolutely incredible,” Chopra said.
