Sooryavanshi made the difference in RCB defeat: Patidar

Guwahati, April 12(UNI) Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar admitted his side was second-best on the night despite putting up a 200-plus total, pointing to teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s explosive knock as the defining factor in their defeat to Rajasthan Royals in Friday’s IPL clash at the ACA Stadium here.
The 15-year-old Sooryavanshi led a powerful counterattack to kick off Rajasthan Royals’ chase, easily dismantling Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s bowling with bold shots as the hosts continued to be on top with a six-wicket win over RCB. The teenager played with stunning audacity, his clean, powerful swings sending the ball racing to the fence at will, with 15 of the 26 deliveries fetching boundaries.
By the time he miscued one off Krunal Pandya, the damage had already been done, putting Rajasthan Royals firmly in control. Though they endured a brief wobble, slipping from 129/1 to 134/4, the foundation laid by Suryavanshi ensured the chase remained well within reach.
