Former Mumbai wicketkeeper-batter Aditya Tare has commended Rajasthan Royals batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for his bold approach in IPL 2026, describing it as ‘phenomenal.’ Sooryavanshi, currently fifth in the run-making charts with 404 runs, will be a key player to watch as RR faces Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Tare highlighted Sooryavanshi’s high-risk batting style, particularly in the powerplay, where he fearlessly takes on bowlers. Despite occasionally losing his wicket while going for big shots, Sooryavanshi’s aggressive start without succumbing to pressure sets him apart.
Discussing Sooryavanshi’s past performances, Tare recalled his century against Gujarat Titans last season in Jaipur, emphasizing the need for him to replicate such innings and spend more time at the crease. Tare expressed admiration for Sooryavanshi’s ability to challenge the top bowlers in the league during the Powerplay, making for captivating viewing.
