How will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi tackle the Jasprit Bumrah challenge
4 min readMumbaiApr 6, 2026 07:38 PM IST IPL 2026: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi could come up against Jasprit Bumrah for the first time in Guwahati on Tuesday. (AP Photo)As teams in the IPL and possibly around the world begin to gather more data on teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, something different caught the eye during the Rajasthan Royals’ match against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Saturday. It is now well known that the 15-year-old loves to target the leg-side, in the arc between long-on and square leg. Bowlers have looked to target Sooryvanshi’s stumps and test him against the short ball. However, those tactics have played into the left-hander’s hands, allowing him to hit to the onside and clear the boundary with ease.On Saturday, though, Sooryavanshi was tested. The GT bowlers consistently bowled on or outside his off-stump to try to negate his strengths and force him to swing across the line. The southpaw, however, seemed ready for the challenge. In his knock of 31 runs off 18 balls, 22 runs came on the off-side, including a four and a sensational six over third man, as well as runs towards covers and long-off. On Tuesday, Sooryavanshi will face another stern test against arguably the most well-rounded bowling attack in the league in Guwahati. Few teams in the IPL are as well equipped as Mumbai Indians to execute a disciplined bowling plan, and their varied and experienced pace attack could be ideally suited to testing Sooryavanshi. Hardik Pandya missed Saturday’s match against Delhi Capitals, but returned to training on Sunday and will be available for Tuesday’s match, possibly coming in place of Deepak Chahar. MI, though, could be tempted to find a spot for Chahar in their bowling unit for his ability to swing the ball and also because he dismissed Sooryavanshi in the only match these two teams played last season in Jaipur.Story continues below this ad “Vaibhav (Sooryavanshi) is not new – this is his second year, and we know he is a good player. Our preparation will be the same as for any other player,” MI bowling coach Paras Mhambrey said on Monday. Trent Boult, who also missed the last match, is another swing bowling option that MI can use to try and dislodge Sooryavanshi early in the innings. And then, of course, there is the Jasprit Bumrah factor to consider. Whether in the Powerplay, middle overs or at the death, the 32-year-old could present the ultimate examination for Sooryavanshi. His control over line, length and his variations ma...
