Vaibhav Suryavanshi has defeated many bowlers in IPL. But, now he is facing Jasprit Bumrah, the biggest bowler in the current world. When Mumbai Indians will play against Rajasthan Royals for the first time in Guwahati, this match will also see a match between Vaibhav Suryavanshi vs Jasprit Bumrah. The eyes of cricket fans around the world will be fixed on this clash.
It is not that the teams of Rajasthan and Mumbai have never faced each other before in IPL. Last year also in the debut season of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, both the teams had faced each other. But in that match, Vaibhav was out on the second ball itself, due to which he could not play Bumrah. Now Jasprit Bumrah and Vaibhav Suryavanshi are expected to stand face to face in the clash between Rajasthan and Mumbai in IPL 2026.
The big question is whether Bumrah will be a challenge for 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi or will he become an opportunity to join Team India? Vaibhav Suryavanshi's coach Manish Ojha has given the answer to this question in a conversation with TV9.
Manish Ojha told TV9 that if Vaibhav and Bumrah come face to face, an amazing match will be seen. He said that Bumrah is the one whose balls are not hit much and Vaibhav is the one who only enjoys hitting the bowlers. Manish Ojha admitted that facing Bumrah is both a challenge and an opportunity for Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
According to Manish Ojha, if Vaibhav Suryavanshi dominates Bumrah and scores a lot of runs against him, then it will be a big achievement for him. By playing Bumrah, Vaibhav Suryavanshi will prove that he can play in any pressure situation and is capable of destroying any bowling attack in the world. Simply put, Manish Ojha admitted that by beating Bumrah's balls, he would completely catch the attention of the Indian selectors and open the doors for his entry into Team India.
However, Vaibhav Suryavanshi's coach also said that it will not be easy to play big shots against Bumrah. He said that Bumrah is known for misleading the batsmen. To create trouble for them. Be it powerplay or death overs in T20 format, Bumrah makes an impact everywhere. His bowling is lethal and this is the reason why even the biggest batsman is not able to dominate against him.
Now the question is, what will Vaibhav Suryavanshi have to do to deal with the challenge named Bumrah? In response to this question, Manish Ojha said that it completely depends on Vaibhav's skills and mental ability.
