When RR manager Robi Bhinder asks him about it, he says: “This celebration was dedicated to my mother. My mother’s name starts with the letter ‘A’. And I didn’t want to tell anyone about it because I thought I would continue this celebration. But now I had to reveal it.”

It is strange that at the post-match presentation he hesitated in revealing the reason behind the celebration, claiming that even he does not know why he does it. 

There was no doubt that Sooryavanshi who had powered his side to a win, was awarded the player of the match. At the post-match presentation, he spoke about trying to bat long as the strip was a good one. 

"Nothing much. I was just thinking because I was sitting outside during the bowling innings and the wicket looked good. I was thinking that today I shouldn’t rush too much at the start, I should take some time and if I bat for a longer period, it’s going to help the batter at the other end as well," he said at the post-match presentation. 

Sooryavanshi did not get off to a belligerent start as he was five off 10 balls at one point of time, but then he suddenly changed gears and kept clobbering sixes at will. The knock is bound to give the youngster a lot of confidence.
