Australian captain Pat Cummins has praised 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi for his explosive performance in IPL 2026. Cummins was among those bowlers who had to face Vaibhav’s aggressive batting style during the tournament. The young batsman of Rajasthan Royals had scored the fastest century of the season against Sunrisers Hyderabad and later also played an explosive inning of 97 runs in 29 balls. While talking to Fox Cricket, Cummins said that it is very difficult to bowl to Vaibhav. He jokingly said that he wished Vaibhav was still in high school so that he would not have to bowl against him. According to Cummins, the young batsman has extraordinary talent and he hits the ball with great power.
Cummins said, “He is a brilliant talent. He hits the ball very far and has very little margin for error. It is very challenging to bowl to him.” The Australian captain further said, “I wish he was in high school now, so that I wouldn’t have to bowl against him. It’s unbelievable. I have rarely seen a 15-year-old player bat like this. Whether he is 15 years old or 30 years old, he hits the ball brilliantly.”

After missing the initial matches of IPL 2026, Cummins’ return came at a time when Vaibhav Suryavanshi was in excellent form. The young batsman had made his intentions clear by hitting a six on the very first ball of Cummins. In the same match, he created history by completing a century in just 36 balls. Even in the eliminator match of the playoff, Vaibhav’s bat spoke loudly. Against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he scored 97 runs in just 29 balls.

He came very close to the record of scoring the fastest century in IPL history, but missed by three runs. Cummins did not get any success in that match and he spent 64 runs in four overs. Thanks to Vaibhav’s aggressive batting, Rajasthan Royals scored a huge score of 243 runs in 20 overs. In reply, Sunrisers Hyderabad could not achieve the target and were out of the tournament.
