RR vs GT: Over 200 runs being chased down with more than four overs remaining is something that rarely happens in world cricket, let alone franchise cricket. Former Australia player and Head Coach Justin Langer jokingly once said, "Bizarre things happen in India," and I guess he was right.

A 14-year-old kid coming out and smacking international bowlers from the word go is something that the world is not used to seeing. But Vaibhav Suryavanshi brought the world to a standstill with his impeccable batting skills and shot-making capabilities.

The Royals, who had botched their last three run chases despite being in a dominating situation, were stacked with the challenge to chase 210 runs against Gujarat Titans. The Titans were always expected to win as they had proven international bowlers such as Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Washington Sundar in their ranks.

But little did they know that "Boss Baby," Vaibhav Suryavanshi, had other ideas in his mind.
