Virat Kohli, who witnessed the youngster’s carnage up close, made sure to show some love after the match. Sooryavanshi approached Kohli for an autograph, and the RCB star happily signed his Rajasthan Royals cap with a personal message: “Dear Vaibhav, well done.”

“Everyone loves him. Everyone loves having him around,” Parag said during the post-match presentation. “He’s a fun-loving kid who enjoys eating out and doing all the typical 15-16-year-old stuff. As long as he keeps batting like this, we make sure he gets whatever he wants!”
With 200 runs in just four matches, including this match-winning 78, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has announced himself as one of the most exciting young talents in the IPL.
