It is difficult to not be completely awestruck while looking at Vaibhav Suryavanshi go about his business.
On Friday, he struck a 15-ball half-century against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, equalling his own record for the joint second-fastest fifty, which he had scored against Chennai Super Kings earlier this season.
Led by the teenage prodigy’s innings, Rajasthan put up 97 runs in the first six, the side’s best haul in the PowerPlay.
Suryavanshi eventually perished on 78 off 26 balls, holing out to long-on while trying to pick another boundary off Krunal Pandya. But the knock was enough to take him to the top of the Orange Cap standings, at 200 runs from just four innings.
However, that perhaps wasn’t the most valuable cap in his possession last night. After the game, which the Royals won by six wickets, former India skipper Virat Kohli was seen interacting with Suryavanshi.
Not just that, it was later revealed that the batting great, in fact, ended up signing Suryavanshi’s cap with a note that read: “Dear Vaibhav, well done.”
A priceless piece of memorabilia that Vaibhav would perhaps choose to treasure his entire life.

![IPL 2026: Shashank Singh plays down PBKS’s poor record against SRH, backs bowlers to come good “Our bowling unit wants to dominate not only tomorrow’s [Saturday] match but also all the upcoming matches.”This one line from Punjab Kings batter Shashank Singh easily conveys the confidence the team has in its bowling line-up, which next faces the batting might of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL).“We are backing our strength. The present situation is that our bowlers are playing very well. Their batting order is very good, but we have a very good attack with the likes of Xavier Bartlett, Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen in our ranks. So, we will prefer to think about our strengths and not theirs,” Shashank said during the pre-match press conference here on Friday.READ | Batting units in the spotlight as Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad meetPBKS used up 19.1 overs and seven wickets while chasing down 163 against Gujarat Titans the last time it played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium. The hosts come into this contest without a great record, both at this ground (4-7) and against their opponent (7-17).“We don’t think about stats. Right now, we are looking at trying to impress each other in our team.”“We don’t have the best of records in home conditions over the past couple of years. But again, we could have won the first match convincingly this season. We made some mistakes in the middle overs, which led to that game going down to the wire… as humans, you make errors and learn from them. In a way, it was good that the first match challenged us,” Shashank added.Published on Apr 10, 2026 #IPL #Shashank #Singh #plays #PBKSs #poor #record #SRH #backs #bowlers #good](https://i0.wp.com/ss-i.thgim.com/public/incoming/k9gc09/article70847874.ece/alternates/LANDSCAPE_1200/hahs.jpg?ssl=1 "IPL 2026: Shashank Singh plays down PBKS’s poor record against SRH, backs bowlers to come good “Our bowling unit wants to dominate not only tomorrow’s [Saturday] match but also all the upcoming matches.”This one line from Punjab Kings batter Shashank Singh easily conveys the confidence the team has in its bowling line-up, which next faces the batting might of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL).“We are backing our strength.
