Teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was out on the second ball of the chase in a dramatic moment of the IPL 2026 match between the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals. The young Rajasthan Royals opener, who had a remarkable history of starting the game with explosives, shortened an SRH debutant Praful Hinge short delivery and was caught by wicketkeeper Salil Arora.

Once the ball shot up in the air, cameras showed the SRH owner Kavya Maran standing up out of her seat in anticipation as she prayed visibly to get the catch. She gave the wicket a passionate, cartoonish cheer as soon as it was closed, jumping in the air and waving her fists, which only too well suggested the gigantic worth of the initial penetration.

The video rapidly spread to social media, where it was lauded by fans as being an unfiltered example of passion and excitement on the part of Maran. SRH proceeded to make an overwhelming win and took away the winning streak of RR. The first among the few flops ever by Sooryavanshi, coupled with the memorable response of Maran, was the subject of the discussion of the evening in an otherwise high-scoring match.
