IPL 2026 ka Eliminator koi aam match nahi tha, yeh ek Masterclass thi dominance ki. Rajasthan Royals ne dikha diya ki kyun unhe is season ka sabse khatarnaak contender maana ja raha hai. Sunrisers Hyderabad ke bade-bade naam dhare ke dhare reh gaye jab RR ke young brigade aur international stars ne milkar unka 'Orange Army' wala ghamand tod diya. Ground par sirf ek hi naam gunj raha tha: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Is 15 saal ke ladke ne wahi kiya jo kabhi Chris Gayle kiya karte the: bowlers ki berahmi se dhulai.
The Inner Story: Sooryavanshi ka Gaylestorm aur Archer ki Dehshat
Jab Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ne bat pakda, toh aisa laga mano stadium mein bijli gir rahi ho. Wednesday ki raat unhone ek-do nahi, balki pure 12 Sixes jad diye. Isi ke saath unhone Universe Boss Chris Gayle ka ek season mein sabse zyada chhake maarne ka record bhi dher kar diya. Vo Fastest IPL Century (30 balls) ke bilkul kareeb the, lekin kismat thodi ruth gayi aur vo 29 balls par 97 runs banakar out ho gaye. Bhale hi century miss ho gayi ho, lekin unhone Orange Cap ki race mein top spot haasil kar liya hai. Ab unke naam 680 Runs hain, jo Gujarat Titans ke B Sai Sudharsan se 28 runs zyada hain.
Wahin dusri taraf, bowling mein Jofra Archer ne dikha diya ki 'Class is Permanent'. Archer ne back-to-back do matches mein 3-3 wickets lekar halla bol diya hai. SRH ki 'Big Three' batting line-up: Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, aur Abhishek Sharma ko unhone Powerplay ke andar hi pavilion bhej diya. Archer ne 58 runs zaroor kharch kiye, lekin unka impact match-winning tha. Unhone SRH ki reed ki haddi tod di, jiske baad Hyderabad ki team kabhi ubhar hi nahi payi.
