Aakash Chopra lauds Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s knock in RR’s IPL 2025 win vs CSK

Former Indian Test opener Aakash Chopra heaped praise on youngster Vaibhav Suryavanshi after he played a match-winning knock against Chennai Super Kings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi in the ongoing IPL 2025 on Tuesday.

The left-hander scored a fine knock of 57 runs off just 33 balls with the help of four fours and as many sixes in the run-chase of 188. The 14-year-old youngster added 98 runs with his skipper Sanju Samson for the second wicket to put his team in the driver’s seat. 

Chopra said the young lad is batting with maturity, which are great signs.

“If we talk about Rajasthan, they have found a precious diamond. They have found an excellent kid, and his name is Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Now you can say that he will increase their grandeur. Now you can say that he was a good selection. Maturity is now seen in the kid. It seemed earlier that he only hits sixes. He doesn’t do that now,” Chopra said on his YouTube Channel.

“When Yashasvi was hitting, he was standing peacefully at the other end. After that, when Yashasvi got out, he started opening his arms. One thing that is extremely special about him is that he is playing the ball and not the bowler, because when Noor Ahmad came, he hit him. He hit Jadeja into the Ambedkar Stadium. He said that you might be Sir Jadeja, but it doesn’t matter to him,” he added.

The renowned commentator recalled how the teenager batted aggressively when the ball was in his arc whereas he respected the good balls against PBKS during his 40-run knock.

“He struck an incredible half-century, and now he has shown many innings where maturity was seen. That means this guy has a serious future. If you see the last match, when Marco Jansen and Arshdeep Singh kept the ball slightly short of length, he was defending or taking singles. As soon as the ball came into his range, it went into the stands,” he observed.

With this win, Rajasthan Royals ended their campaign with four victories in 14 games.
