Sooryavanshi showed his incredible talent again on Wednesday, when the 15 year old smashed 97 off just 29 balls in Rajasthan’s victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad. He produced a more measured, but equally impressive, knock this time. He held Royals together as they fell to 9-2 after the Gujarat openers Mohammed Siraj, and Kagiso, had bowled well. Sooryavanshi was unable to hit the ball on time, and played and missed the ball a few times. He then dug in, and smashed the first of his seven sixes, a stunning straight six, off Rabada’s 14th delivery. Rabada hit Sooryavanshi’s helmet with his short-pitched delivery when Sooryavanshi had 56 off 32. After that, it was as if a switch had been flipped and Rabada scored 39 runs in his next 14 deliveries before being caught at third by a high catch from an untimed sl. He finished with 96 off 47. Royals were 176-6 when he was caught. They had 16 balls remaining. Donovan Ferreira struck 38 off 11, but it was ultimately not enough. Ian Bishop, a former West Indies fast bowler, said that some teams have already “down to Plan Z” against Sooryavanshi. Sooryavanshi, a teammate of Archer, has been practicing against the short ball in practice sessions. Despite being dismissed by it four times this season, Sooryavanshi’s strike rate against it is 307 with 23 sixes. Ian Bishop, former West Indies bowler, stated that Archer had talked to him about his net battles. Both go head-to head at full speed. I know many batsmen who do not like fast bowling during practice but he hasn’t backed off.
