New Delhi. Vaibhav Suryavanshi once again showed his “Vaibhav”. The 15 year old young player of Rajasthan Royals has made a habit of giving fast starts to his team. The same thing happened in the match against Punjab Kings on Tuesday. While chasing the target of 223 runs, Suryavanshi scored 43 runs in 16 balls. His innings included five sixes and three fours. Even though Vaibhav missed fifty in this innings, he is now close to a century due to which Kieron Pollard’s record is in danger.
