Who says cricket is only a game for aging veterans? In fact, nowadays in IPL, even 15 year old boys are making the best bowlers sweat. This is what one feels after seeing the condition of Australian captain Pat Cummins, who was so intimidated by a young batsman that now he has started talking about sending him to school. It makes me laugh to hear this, but it is absolutely true. Seeing the havoc that this player named Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is only 15 years old, is wreaking on the field, any bowler would get sweat on his forehead. The impact that this young star of Rajasthan Royals has made in IPL 2026 is truly incredible.

In fact, Pat Cummins himself is among those bowlers who had to face Vaibhav’s aggressive batting style during the tournament. Be it scoring the fastest century of the season against Sunrisers Hyderabad or his explosive innings of 97 runs in 29 balls, Vaibhav proved his talent every time and proved that age is just a number. He can prove even big names dwarf.

I wish he was in high school now: Cummins

In fact, while talking to Fox Cricket, Cummins openly expressed his helplessness and surprise. He said, ‘It is very difficult to bowl to Vaibhav.’ Then added in the same humorous tone, ‘I wish he were in high school now, so I wouldn’t have to bowl against him.’ According to Cummins, the young batsman has extraordinary talent and he hits the ball with immense power, as if he comes to the field with a resolve to hit a six on every ball.

He is a brilliant talent: Cummins

Cummins further strengthened his point by saying, ‘He is a brilliant talent. He hits the ball very far and has very little margin for error. It is quite challenging to bowl to him. The Australian captain further said, ‘This is unbelievable. I have rarely seen a 15-year-old player bat like this. Whether he is 15 years old or 30 years old, he hits the ball very well. Both Cummins’ surprise and respect are clearly visible in these words.

Hit a six on Cummins’ very first ball.

In fact, after missing the initial matches of IPL 2026, Cummins’ return came at a time when Vaibhav Suryavanshi was in excellent form. As soon as he came on the field, the young batsman made his intentions clear by hitting a six on the very first ball of Cummins. This was just a beginning. In the same match, he created history by completing a century in just 36 balls. Vaibhav’s bat also performed well in the eliminator match of the playoff. Against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he scored 97 runs in just 29 balls, as if he had rained runs.

He came very close to the record of scoring the fastest century in IPL history, but missed it by just three runs. Cummins did not get any success in that match and he spent 64 runs in his four overs. Thanks to Vaibhav’s aggressive batting, Rajasthan Royals scored a huge score of 243 runs in 20 overs, which was like a mountain for the opposing team. In reply, Sunrisers Hyderabad could not achieve the target and were out of the tournament.
