The Gujarat Titans wicketkeeper batter Jos Buttler reveals texting Jofra Archer asking if Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was AI. There were already many memes circulating around the use of an AI chip in his cricket
bat. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's batting has been pure class this season as he has been smashing the bowlers all around the park. No bowler in the IPL seems to be a challenge for him and he is up there amongst the highest run-scorers in the season. The fans are unable to understand how a 15-year old batter can be so dominant and fearless in his approach. Hence, there are many memes and rumours around his batting approach and his dominance in the tournament.
Jos Buttler recently featured in the podcast “For the love of Cricket” along with his former teammate Stuart Broad. He expressed his thoughts regarding the young sensation as he was just unbelievable in his batting approach. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi displayed his class against the Punjab Kings in the previous game as he scored a quickfire 43 off just 16 balls. He asserted pure dominance with the bat as he maximized the power play for the Rajasthan Royals. His opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal has been one of the talking points of the season. They are arguably the most destructive pair in the tournament and bowlers are extra cautious while bowling against them. The opposition captains and coaches seem to be devising plans against Sooryavanshi but nothing seems to be stopping the youngster from finding the boundary.

“So, Sooryavanshi of the three balls he’s faced first up against Hazlewood, Bumrah, and Cummins, who are arguably three all-timers, um, he’s just deposited over the ropes for six first ball. I think that's probably one of my favorites. I think that is just outrageous. You can imagine the coach saying to 15-year-old Vaibhav, ‘these are pretty good bowlers, mate. Just have a look at one,’ and he’s decided to just park them out the ground first ball each.”
He added, “Rajasthan are playing, I’m like, right, I need to turn the TV on to watch this guy play. It’s, um, so exciting. I did text Joff (Archer) actually and say, you know, is he AI? Has like Musk created this teenage sensation who just is an absolute wizard with the bat? But no, he’s great to watch. I think he’s becoming a yeah, very exciting player and one I think there’s a good chance we might see in England this summer,” said Jos Buttler.
Teenage sensation dominates elite bowlers as Royals bank on explosive starts against Delhi Capitals
The entire cricketing world seems to be amazed at the talent of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. They simply cannot imagine a young 15 year old smashing bowlers around the park for fun. When Jasprit Bumrah was up against Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, he just smashed the bowler for a six off the very first ball. That was the moment when he stamped his authority over the game. Josh Hazlewood met with the same fate as he hit him for consecutive boundaries. Sooryavanshi hit a six off Sunil Narine as well and he truly proved his worth in the game. Pat Cummins is left in wonder as he cannot believe that such a young inexperienced cricketer is dominating the top bowlers of the game.
The Rajasthan Royals will be taking on the Delhi Capitals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium at Jaipur tomorrow. The success of the Rajasthan Royals have been dependent on the start they get off, with the power of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal. All eyes will be on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as the teenager is such a treat to watch when he gets going.
