IPL 2026: Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashes Bumrah for two sixes in one over in first-ever meeting
The much anticipated first clash between Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Jasprit Bumrah delivered.
The match between the Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians in Guwahati was truncated to 11 overs a side following a delayed start due to rain.
The young southpaw smoked the first ball he faced from the two-time World Cup winner over the long-on fence for six. The shot even elicited a smile out of India’s pace spearhead.
After exchanging a couple of singles with opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryavanshi picked a slower ball from Bumrah and deposited it into the stands at midwicket.
The opening pair brought up their fifty-run partnership in just 2.4 overs with all of MI’s bowling options bearing the brunt.
