Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Teenager, 15, wins car for IPL season achievements
Vaibhav, a 15-year old sensation who has excelled in the Indian Premier League this season, won a car. But he will have to wait for three years before he can drive it. Sooryavanshi is a left-hander who has excelled this season in the IPL, scoring 776 in 16 innings and a strikerate of 237.30. The Rajasthan Royals team did not reach the finals, but he was still named Most Valuable Players for 2026. The teenager won the Orange C and Emerging Player award, which is given to the player who scores the most runs. He won a Tata Sierra SUV, which is a popular midsize SUV for Indians. But he can’t drive the vehicle because India has a minimum driving age of 18. Sooryavanshi’s prize money was more than PS30,000.

IPL 2026 final: Virat Kohlis unbeaten 75 helps RCB beat Gujarat Titans to secure back-to-back titles
The stadium was filled with shirts featuring Kohli’s number and his name, the former India Ctain delivered on the largest stage yet again. He’ll be 38 this year, but a player known for his ability in chases showed he has plenty of energy left as he clocked up his fastest IPL 50. Kohli and Venkatesh, the other opener, both of whom scored 32 runs in 16 balls, set RCB off to a great start with a 62-run first wicket stand. Mohammed Siraj, who dismissed Iyer before Kagiso Raibada took out Devdutt Padikkal, gave Gujarat the opening. Rashid Khan was able to swing the momentum in favor of the Titans by claiming two scalps in one over. Rajat Padikkal, who had been ctain for 15 runs, and Krunal Pandya were soon after. Kohli, who will retire from T20 Internationals after the World Cup in 2024, was stoic as he shared an important 41-run partnership to steady the chase. David scored 24 runs before leaving, so Kohli and Jitesh Sharma were left to lead RCB towards victory. Kohli gave the crowd the iconic finish they wanted as he smashed Arshad khan over the long-on line for six. “Such a demand is made by the sport of today. Kohli, who won the player of the match award, said that these young players are always pushing him to improve his game. It’s exciting because it gives me something to work toward. It’s exciting to me that I am improving. I like to find out where I can do better.

England vs India: Freya Kemp breathes life into World Cup preparations to secure win in Bristol
Freya Kemp gave England’s T20 World Cup preparations a boost as they won the series with India by 26 runs in Bristol. After being outclassed on Thursday in the T20 opener, England’s batsmen were pedestrian until Kemp scored 24 off the last over and finished 39 not out after 13 balls. This took England to 168-5 – a total they had thought was beyond them only two overs before. India, however, were still in a good position at 70-1 after the ninth over. Kemp, just back from a more than year-long injury ban, was able to make a comeback by having Smriti Mandhana, a classy batswoman, caught at deep, square leg. Her wicket ignited a fightback for England’s Bowlers, who first halted India’s scoring via Charlie Dean and Sophie Ecclestone before claiming a flurry. Kemp’s slower ball caught Jemimah Rogers after India dismissed Yastika Bahatia on 33 runs from 36 balls. It was the first women’s T20 match between major nations to use this tactic. India fell to 142-9 in the last two overs after India needed 39. Instead of facing a dead-rubber after another demoralising loss, they can now win the series in a final in Taunton on Monday.

IPL 2026: Vaibhav Sooryavanshis 96 goes in vain as RR beaten by GT in Qualifier 2
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.
Archer is at him and Archer is at Archer.
