With Due to an injury, Sanju Samson is still sidelined, but Vaibhav Suryavanshi continued to wow on Thursday with his batting prowess. At just 14 years old, the adolescent star Yashasvi Jaiswal has already impressed fans and former players with his fearless approach and powerful hitting ability. Jaiswal debuted for RR as an Impact Sub to start the run chase.

Suresh Raina was mesmerized by Suryavanshi's style of play during the game on Thursday when RR faced RCB in Bengaluru, and he couldn't help but heap accolades on the young man.

The When addressing Star Sports, the former India cricketer started with a song, and it was an old Bollywood tune—Chota Bachcha Jaan Ke by Aditya Narayan, which came out in 1996.

With a little child, in your young life, you can’t see any rays with your eyes, submerged, submerged,” sang Raina.

"He's 14 years old." Raina went on to say, "His temperament, fearless approach, game awareness, and the calmness in his body language all indicate that he is a mature player, that he is ready. He is never afraid."

In yet another late collapse, RR fell short of their target of 206 runs, finishing with 195/9 in 20 overs. Meanwhile, Suryavanshi struck two sixes and scored 16 runs off 12 balls.

In the current season, the Indian U-19 player has scored 50 runs in two games with a strike rate of 156.25.

The youngest person to ever receive an IPL contract was RR's purchase of Suryavanshi for Rs 1.1 crore during the super auction the previous year. On the other hand, he is now the youngest IPL debutant in history during the current season. Last year, at the age of 12, he also made history by becoming the second-youngest player from Bihar to ever play in the Ranji Trophy.

In addition, he played for India in the 2024 ACC U-19 Asia Cup, where he hit 76 runs in 46 balls against the UAE and 67 runs in 36 balls against Sri Lanka in the semifinals.
