Jasprit Bumrah in Splits After Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Welcomes Him With a First-Ball Six in RR vs MI IPL 2026 [WATCH]

Rajasthan Royals (RR) batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi dominated the much-anticipated matchup against Mumbai Indians (MI) star Jasprit Bumrah in the RR vs MI clash today (April 7) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2026). Vaibhav faced Bumrah in the second over of the Royals innings after they were put to bat first in a rain-curtailed 11-over per side contest.

But what unfolded next stunned everyone as the young Vaibhav Sooryavashi showcased his sheer audacity and aggression to dispatch Bumrah for a first-ball six. The talismanic Indian pacer bowled in the slot and the 15-year-old with his effortless backlift whacked it into the stands over wide long-on. Following the shot, Bumrah could be seen sporting a smirk on his face while walking back to his mark.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi did an encore again on the fourth ball of the over. Jasprit Bumrah bowled a shortish slower delivery down the leg-side and Vaibhav pulled it into the stands beyond backward square leg.

However, Bumrah ended the over on a strong note with two dot balls, leaking a total of 14 runs that included the two sixes off Vaibhav and two singles.

Here is the Jasprit Bumrah reaction after conceding the first maximum.
