Explosive century ends in pain
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi delivered a sensational performance for Rajasthan Royals in their IPL 2026 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad, smashing a breathtaking century. The teenage prodigy reached his hundred in just 37 balls, hammering five fours and 12 sixes at an extraordinary strike rate.
The knock also added to his growing list of records, as he became the youngest and fastest player to reach 1,000 T20 runs.
Injury scares shocks Rajasthan Royals
Despite the historic innings, the spotlight quickly shifted to concern as Sooryavanshi appeared in visible discomfort on the field. The youngster suffered what looked like a hamstring issue and had to be helped off the ground by support staff.
The incident raised immediate fears within the Rajasthan Royals camp, given his importance to the team’s batting lineup this season.
Record knock goes in vain
Earlier in the match, Sooryavanshi’s blistering 103 powered Rajasthan Royals to a massive total of 228/6. However, the effort ultimately proved insufficient as Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down the target in a high-scoring thriller.
Concern ahead of upcoming matches
The injury has cast a shadow over Rajasthan’s campaign, with fans and team management anxiously awaiting updates on the teenager’s fitness. With Sooryavanshi emerging as one of the standout performers of IPL 2026, any prolonged absence could be a significant setback.
