Vaibhav Suryavanshi played an explosive inning of 78 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Friday. Playing just 26 balls, he hit 7 sixes and 8 fours in this innings, for which he received the Player of the Match award. He also scored a lot of runs on legendary bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood. Earlier, he had also shown aggressive form against Jasprit Bumrah with the first ball. When asked about playing against these big bowlers, he said that he concentrates on the ball and not on the bowler.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi could not cut the cake on his birthday because he went to sleep early. After the win over RCB, when he was asked whether he would cut the cake today? So he laughed and said, “Not today, we have to sleep early today also because we have an early flight tomorrow morning.” Regarding his approach, he said, “I just try to do what I do in practice, don’t try to do too much and trust my natural game.”

Doesn’t pay attention to the bowler- Vaibhav

When asked about facing Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, Vaibhav Suryavanshi said, “I never keep in my mind which bowler is in front. I only concentrate on the ball, not on who the bowler is. My father, coaches keep explaining to me that this journey is very long, so I should keep my focus on my process and my game only, without getting distracted by other things.”

Whenever Vaibhav is out, there is a sad look on his face, even if he is out after playing an explosive innings. On the question related to disappointment after getting out, he said, “If I had stayed on the wicket, 10-20 more runs could have been scored or the target could have been achieved 1-2 overs earlier. The only regret I have is that I wish I could have played a little longer.”
