Former South Africa cricketer Dale Steyn commended Rajasthan Royals’ opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for intimidating bowlers, including Jasprit Bumrah, with his aggressive batting style. Steyn highlighted an instance where Sooryavanshi hit Bumrah for a boundary off the first ball, showcasing the youngster’s ability to unsettle bowlers. Even Bumrah, a top Indian bowler, seemed hesitant against Sooryavanshi, according to Steyn.
Steyn emphasized that Sooryavanshi’s fearless approach makes him a formidable opponent for any bowler, as seen in his performance against Bumrah. The cricketer noted that Sooryavanshi’s confidence in taking on bowlers, regardless of their reputation, sets him apart in the game. In a recent match, Rajasthan Royals secured a victory over Mumbai Indians, propelled by a strong opening partnership between Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Steyn praised Sooryavanshi’s aggressive batting style, stating that the young player is unafraid to take on any bowler. Sooryavanshi’s ability to punish loose deliveries with powerful shots makes him a threat on the field, as evidenced by his performance against Bumrah. The cricketer lauded Sooryavanshi’s approach of capitalizing on bowlers’ mistakes and turning them into scoring opportunities.
