Naam hai Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Usne sirf runs nahi banaye, usne ek poori generation ke sapno ko aag laga di. 52 runs, sirf 17 balls mein – yeh sirf statistics nahi, yeh ek prophecy hai, ek naye star ke uday ka elaan hai!
The Inner Story / Asli Maajra
Monday ki shaam, Guwahati mein Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ka muqabla. Jab Vaibhav Sooryavanshi batting kar rahe the, tab Riyan Parag dressing room se unhe dekh kar 'Wow, how does he do it' bol rahe the. Aur ESPNcricinfo ke studios mein baithe Piyush Chawla aur Ambati Rayudu soch rahe the, 'Kya India call-up ab bas paas hi hai is 15-saal ke wonder boy ke liye?'
Chawla ne toh seedha keh diya, "If he plays like that, would love to see him fast-tracked." Rayudu thode cautious the, but unka verdict bhi clear tha: yeh ladka "definitely in the race" hai. Unhone kaha, "He looks a cut above a lot of youngsters in the country, and he's a talent that will definitely do wonders for Indian cricket. I don't know when, but definitely in the future." Rayudu ko Vaibhav ki batting mein woh freedom dikhi, woh ease jisse woh bowlers ko take on kar raha tha. "Unbelievable at this age," unhone add kiya.
Riyan Parag ne press conference mein team management ke role par roshni dali. Unhone bataya ki Vaibhav par koi pressure nahi daala jaata, "We don't put pressure on him and don't want him to be aware of the noise outside." Uska focus sirf uski batting par hai. Parag ne toh yeh bhi kaha ki unhe khud samajh nahi aata ki Sooryavanshi itni asaani se kaise run banata hai, "Like everyone in the stands, we also watch him the same way. We are also like ‘wow, how does he do it’." Yeh ladka Rajasthan Royals ki jaan ban chuka hai.
Aur yeh bhi mat bhooliye ki Sooryavanshi sirf 15 saal ka hai! Usne toh already World Cup jeet rakha hai, Under-19 World Cup mein Player of the Tournament tha, jahan usne 439 runs banaye the. Uske naam kayi records hain: youngest IPL player, men's T20s mein sabse young century-maker, aur men's List A cricket mein fastest 150. Kya dominance hai is umra mein!
CSK ke batting coach Mike Hussey bhi Vaibhav ki batting se impress hue. Unhone mana ki ek catch drop hua tha, but Sooryavanshi ka intent clear tha, "he's going hard, going hard at every ball, and some days it's going to come off and some days it's not. Today it came off for him." Sach mein, us din woh ladka rukkne wala nahi tha.
