Rajasthan Royals (RR) assistant coach Dishant Yagnik has rubbished claims that batting prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi was below stress throughout their match in opposition to the Mumbai Indians (MI) on Thursday, having scored a record-breaking century within the earlier match. 14-year-old Suryavanshi, who scored a 35-ball century in opposition to Gujarat Titans, was dismissed for a two-ball duck throughout RR’s 100-run loss to MI. Talking after the match, Yagnik insisted Suryavanshi may be very mature for his age, and his failure in opposition to MI has nothing to do with media stress.
“No, I do not assume so (whether or not Suryavanshi was below stress). He is very mature for a 14-year-old. While you’re going through a 140 km/h supply, the media stress would not cross your thoughts. You simply attempt to categorical your self with the bat. Generally, the identical shot that earns you a boundary also can get you out. That is what occurred with Vaibhav today-he mistimed a shot and it went straight to Will Jacks,” Yagnik stated throughout a press convention.
Requested in regards to the distinction between final 12 months’s star-studded staff and this version’s comparatively younger and inexperienced aspect, Yagnik replied, “There’s an incredible level in your query about star (gamers). Each time a brand new participant arrives, he’s not a star however he’s made into one.” “Final 12 months, the gamers we had weren’t stars after they entered the staff however they turned stars and now the gamers that we’ve got received within the staff, we are going to make them stars. We do not purchase superstars, we make superstars and that is our tagline,” he stated on the post-match media convention.
The Royals have been in competition for a remaining berth final 12 months earlier than ending third on the desk with 17 factors from 14 video games.
RR, who’ve solely six factors from 11 video games, are out of the playoffs race following the loss to MI.
