New Delhi: Experienced New Zealand bowler Trent Boult will face an unusual challenge in the upcoming IPL match against Rajasthan Royals. Boult commented on Vaibhav Suryavanshi a teenage player who recently scored a record-breaking century ahead of the Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals game at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. The experienced left-arm fast bowler expressed calm despite the considerable enthusiasm generated by the young players impressive debut. (I have) bowled to some brilliant batsmen around the world the Chris Gayles the AB de Villiers all the quality that come in these tournaments. I think Ill be careful not to say Im worried about a 14-year-old Boult said. But its going to be an exciting challenge to come up against a guy whos obviously fearless and running in hot form at the moment so thats what its about. Suryavanshi at a remarkably young age achieved a T20 century off just 38 balls setting a new record for youngest ever to accomplish this feat in mens cricket. His innings also the second fastest T20 century in IPL history (35 balls) was lauded by Boult as a highlight of the season. “The whole world saw that performance the other night. (It was a) quality (knock) from such a young kid. Its the beauty of this tournament of all the players coming out and taking any opportunity with both hands and I thought he did that very nicely said the Kiwi quick. Boult expressed confidence in his ability to perform well on what he anticipates will be a high-scoring pitch citing his experience. “No I dont as a bowler” he replied when asked if he expected another run-fest. “Its a high-scoring ground; history says that. Its a solid wicket matched by a very very quick outfield. Ive been lucky enough to experience the ground over the last three seasons so hopefully I can put that experience into good stead over the next game.” Mumbai Indians recent success including a five-game winning streak is attributed by Trent Boult to teamwork and Jasprit Bumrahs return. However current attention focuses on young Suryakumar Yadav whose aggressive batting style has created a highly anticipated clash against Boult and Bumrah one of the top fast bowlers currently playing.
