Vaibhav Suryavanshi has created such havoc with his bat that there is panic among the bowlers. Almost every bowler who has bowled to Vaibhav at some point or the other has been badly beaten. Even bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kagiso Rabada, who have taken the most wickets this season, could not escape the onslaught of Vaibhav. In such a situation, how should the 15 year old young opener bowl so that he can be stopped? This is a question everyone is asking at the moment and the same question was asked to Rajasthan Royals teammate Joffra Archer, who has decided to keep it a secret for now.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi created havoc against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the eliminator match of IPL 2026. This left-handed batsman played a explosive inning of 97 runs in just 29 balls, breaking the record of most sixes in a single season of IPL. In this innings, Vaibhav hit 12 sixes and ruined the condition of every bowler of Hyderabad. But not only Hyderabad but Vaibhav has wreaked havoc against every team. In such a situation, after the match, Rajasthan Royals fast bowler Joffra Archer was asked a question related to bowling to Vaibhav.
Being in the same team, Archer and Vaibhav cannot face each other in the match. In such a situation, both will collide at the nets only. So does Archer bowl any special way against Vaibhav? When this question was asked to Archer on the broadcast after the match, the Rajasthan pacer told that he sometimes bowls to Vaibhav in the nets. But Archer clearly refused to tell how he bowls to this batsman. Archer said that he will tell about this after the IPL is over.
Now only he can know what secret Archer is hiding. The question is whether Archer has troubled Vaibhav in the nets or has this England fast bowler also faced the same fate as Vaibhav has done to the great bowlers around the world. Whatever may be the story behind the scenes, the truth of the moment is that Vaibhav and Archer together are keeping the hopes of Rajasthan alive. While Vaibhav’s innings against Sunrisers was praised a lot, Archer’s bowling got buried somewhere in it. It was Archer who completely destroyed the top order of Sunrisers and made a big contribution in the victory by taking 3 wickets.
