At 14 years and 23 days, Vaibhav Suryavanshi sent shockwaves to all the bowlers in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) when the Bihar youngster smashed Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer Shardul Thakur on his first ball at the stands of Sawai Mansingh stadium on Saturday.
Playing in place of captain Sanju Samson, Suryavanshi stayed on the leg-side, made room for himself and whacked the good length delivery around off side high and over the cover region for a maximum, giving no respect to Thakur.
But little did anyome knew that it was Samson’s bat that Suryavanshi played with until the left-handed opener himself admitted. In a video shared by Rajasthan Royals, LSG cricketer Arshin Kulkarni was asking for Suryavanshi’s bat to which the latter was continiously denying.
