Vibhu Suryavanshi played a complete havoc against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2026 Eliminator, scoring a brilliant 97 off just 29 balls. His after the match Rajasthan Royals Teammate Dhruv Jarrell revealed the fearless batting mantra behind the 15-year-old sensation’s incredible success.Rajasthan Royals moved a step closer to a second IPL title after beating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 47 runs in a high-scoring eliminator contest at the Maharaja Yadavendra Singh International Stadium in Milanpur. Again, Suryavanshi was the star of RR’s show. The teenage opener tore apart the SRH bowling attack with a stunning innings of 12 sixes and five fours, helping Rajasthan post a mammoth total of 243/8 in the knockout clash.Dhruv Jural, who also contributed a quick half-century, praised Suryavanshi’s fearless approach and revealed that the youngster never has any doubts when he comes out to bat.“The best thing about Vaibhav is that he doesn’t plan too much because he practices a lot and always backs himself. Whenever he goes out to bat, he believes in his ability. There is never a shadow of doubt in his mind that he can’t do it,” Jorel said during the post-match press conference. Explaining what makes the youngster special, Jural said Suryavanshi only focuses on the ball and not the reputation of the bowler.“When you start cricket, coaches tell you to look at the ball, not the bowler. But as a youngster, we always look at the bowler. Vibhu just looks at the ball, that’s his mantra. He doesn’t talk about a bowler. He just wants to play the ball. That’s all,” Jorel added.Defending 244, Rajasthan Royals then dominated the ball as well. Sunrisers Hyderabad collapsed to 57/4 despite a brief counter-attack from Ishan Kishan inside the powerplay, scoring 33 off just 11 balls.Jofra Archer (3/58) and Nandre Berger (2/26) led the bowling attack brilliantly as SRH were eventually bowled out for 196 in 19.2 overs, giving Rajasthan Royals a stunning victory.
