How to Stop IPL Sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is tearing through IPL 2026 like a hot knife through butter. At just 15, this prodigy has made bowlers look like mere mortals, smashing 246 runs in six matches with a jaw-dropping strike rate of 237. His 35-ball century last season is still the stuff of legends, and now he's got the Orange Cap in his sights again, currently sitting pretty as the fourth-highest run-scorer.

Former England pacer Steven Finn shared some cheeky yet insightful advice on the "For The Love of Cricket" podcast, joking that bowlers might need to fake an injury just to avoid bowling to Sooryavanshi. "Probably pull a calf or a hamstring before your captain asks you to bowl," he quipped. But it’s not all jokes; Finn believes bowlers need to be clever and varied in their approach to stand a chance against this batting sensation.

Finn suggests that a tight line around the back of a length might catch Sooryavanshi off guard. Protecting the leg side with fielders while mixing in a slower, wider delivery could be the key to success. He noted that even renowned bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Josh Hazlewood have struggled against Sooryavanshi's explosive style.

As the Rajasthan Royals gear up to face the Lucknow Super Giants, Sooryavanshi's quest for runs continues. With RR sitting in third place, this match could be another chance for the young star to shine and push for that coveted Orange Cap. Will bowlers finally find a way to tame this teen terror?
