RR vs MI: Before the start of the match between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians, captain Hardik Pandya was seen talking to Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Vaibhav Suryavanshi was doing batting drill and then Hardik Pandya reached him. Pandya talked to him for a long time and during this he checked Suryavanshi's bat. Hardik Pandya liked Suryavanshi's bat very much, which was clearly visible by looking at his expressions. Hardik was seen checking the swing and balance of his bat.
There was no special reason to check Vaibhav Suryavanshi's bat. Pandya casually checked his bat. Usually players do this. By the way, Suryavanshi's bat also deserves to be checked because at the age of 15, this player hits long sixes with his bat. Suryavanshi has made an explosive start in this IPL 2026 also. Suryavanshi had scored a half-century in 15 balls in the very first match against Chennai, which is the fastest half-century of this season.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi uses the bat of SS company. The weight of his bat is said to be around 1170 grams. The price of his bat is estimated between Rs 50 thousand to Rs 1 lakh.
