Once again in IPL 2026, eyes are going to be on 14 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Vaibhav Suryavanshi had scored a brilliant century and half-century last year. He created a sensation by scoring a century in 35 balls, but now what Suryavanshi will do in his second season is a big question. Obviously, there will be pressure on Vaibhav Suryavanshi this time and Rajasthan Royals captain Ryan Parag also believes this. Meanwhile, while talking to the media, Riyan Parag said that the media should stay away from Suryavanshi. He gave a special reason for this.
Why is it important to stay away from Vaibhav Suryavanshi?
Riyan Parag said, as captain, I will give the same message to Vaibhav that he should not talk to the media too much. Just let her enjoy. I would request you not to try to talk to her. He is a 15 year old kid, playing very well. He will bring glory to the country. There will definitely be a lot more pressure on him than what he did last year, but he does not need to think too much. As a captain, I would say that whatever pressure needs to be taken, Jaiswal will do it. I will tell him you go, play and kill.
Eyes will be on both Vaibhav and Parag
Both Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Riyan Parag will be in the public eye this season. Last season, Suryavanshi had scored 252 runs in 7 matches at an average of 36, in which his strike rate was more than 206. Suryavanshi has hit 24 sixes in his short IPL career. This time his target will be to hit at least 50 sixes, which no Indian player has been able to do till now.
On the other hand, eyes will also be on Rajasthan captain Riyan Parag. After Sanju Samson’s departure from the team, this player has been made the captain. It will be interesting to see what feat Riyan Parag shows as a captain. Although this player has scored 1566 runs in 72 innings in IPL at an average of more than 26, he has also scored 7 half-centuries with his bat. Last season, Parag had scored 393 runs with the help of one half-century in which his strike rate was more than 160.
