New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals‘ Teen sensation Vibhu Suryavanshi has finally broken his silence on the bizarre “AI chip in bat” allegation – and did so with a cheeky response that has now taken the internet by storm.After breaking yet another record in IPL 2026, the 15-year-old prodigy was asked if there really was an artificial aid lurking in his willow. Smiling, Suryavanshi replied, “Bhagavan has given it. As I said above, I am giving something to you, using it.” [God has implanted it and told me he is putting something in my bat. I am just using that.”
The light-hearted remark, shared by Rajasthan Royals on social media, quickly went viral — much like everything the youngster seems to touch this season.WATCH: Sooryavanshi answers AI chip questionAI claim sparks buzz after stunning centuryThe unusual “AI chip” theory first surfaced after Sooryavanshi’s jaw-dropping 103 off just 37 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
