GUWAHATI: Fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi tore the Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowling to shreds as he equalled his own record for the fastest fifty of this season's IPL, powering unbeaten Rajasthan Royals to a fourth successive victory on Friday. Sooryavanshi raced to his half-century from just 15 deliveries, hammering eight fours and seven towering sixes during his 26-ball 78. He also hit a 15-ball fifty in the Royals' opener against Chennai Super Kings,"Everyone loves him and loves having him around," said Rajasthan skipper Riyan Parag. The teen prodigy found an able ally in Dhruv Jurel at the ACA Stadium, helping Rajasthan make light work of Bengaluru's competitive 201-8. My dad, my coaches, my guardian Romi (Bhinder, team manager of Rajasthan Royals), they keep telling me that the journey is long.
