This was just his third match in the IPL, and he has already shown his capability to thrive in tricky situations. Former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri heaped praises on the 14 year old but insisted the player should be away from all the noise.

On ICC Review, he said, “I think the first shot he ever played (against Lucknow), that would have taken everyone's breath away.

"But he's young, just let him play. I would say just let him play a bit because it's at that age, there's bound to be failure as well.

"It's how he handles failure, as people will come up with new things."

Vaibhav Suryavanshi Could Be Rajasthan Royals' Long Term Solution

Rajasthan have struggled to implement its strategy, especially their batting unit has failed to perform. The likes of Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer haven't done justice to their names while Sanju Samson's injury issue has hurt the side. Suryavanshi has brought in a fresh approach and it has paid dividends so far. His opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal could be the bedrock for success in the future and it remains to be seen how things shape up for the RR youngster.
