Jasprit Bumrah is probably one of the best fast bowling leaders in T20. However, his excellence did not go unnoticed as Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Vaibhav Suryavanshi hit him for a record number of sixes in his very first match.
A contest between a legend of the game and a genius before whom the world has bowed down. The Jasprit Bumrah vs Vaibhav Suryavanshi face-off will probably be one of the most iconic moments in this year’s Tata IPL. However, the RR opener played it perfectly against the most feared T20I fast bowler in the world.
Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians played their third match of the season at the rain-affected ACA Stadium in Guwahati. The Royals opening pair wreaked havoc and the match was reduced to 11 overs and only sixes were seen during the powerplay.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Vaibhav Suryavanshi defeated Jasprit Bumrah by hitting a brilliant six in his very first match.
The Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals match was an important game for both the teams, especially for Mumbai, whose captain made a comeback after the previous game, which his team lost in his absence.
However, anticipation largely remained around young Vaibhav Suryavanshi taking on leading Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. While Bumrah has been a nightmare for world-class batsmen, Suryavanshi has had a similar reputation for bowlers in recent times.
However, these scenes were not what anyone, including Bumrah, would have dreamed of. The very first ball against the world’s greatest fast bowler, and the left-hander hit it over the mid-wicket fence, and the ball went miles straight into the stands.
The young Suryavanshi was welcoming the great fast bowler; However, he showed some respect and converted his next ball for a single. After this he returned to strike and again hit another tremendous six over the square leg boundary on the fourth ball.
15 year old Suryavanshi’s new record against MI Pacer
The first ever encounter between two generations of unique Indian talent, and what an amazing moment it was. It ended with Suryavanshi taking an early lead by a 2-0 margin over the leading bowler as he hit two sixes at him, but Bumrah did not manage to dismiss him.
However, with two sixes, young Suryavanshi has now created a unique record against Jasprit Bumrah in the IPL and has left many legends of the game behind. Known for hitting the least number of sixes among bowlers in T-20 matches; His economical mantra is proof of this.
Now this young Rajasthan Royals lad has more sixes against the MI pacer than David Warner, Chris Gayle, Jos Buttler, Mitchell Marsh, Shikhar Dhawan, Shane Watson, Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Travis Head and many other greats.
