Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's stellar ton helps RR snap losing streak

Before their recent clash against Gujarat Titans at home, Rajasthan had lost five games on the bounce and were struggling to go past the finish line, particularly in three games where they came close and should have won ideally.

On Monday, batting first, GT scored a big total of 209/4 on the board. It was supposed to be a challenging task for Rajasthan as four out of their last five defeats had come when they were chasing.

However, young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had other plans on the night. The 14-year-old began in his usual fashion and went all guns blazing in the powerplay, taking on the opposition bowlers and hitting them for fun.

He continued his carnage and batted the same way even after the powerplay, making his intentions loud and clear. His blitz, along with an equally impressive knock from Yashasvi Jaiswal at the other end, completely took the game away from GT.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashed 101 runs off just 38 balls, hitting seven fours and 11 sixes at a strike-rate of 265.79 in his blistering century, that set up a much-needed eight-wicket victory for the Royals.
