Ex-India cricketer Atul Wassan praised RR's 15-year-old opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after he scored 776 runs in IPL 2026. "He is a one in a million generational talent," he said. Wassan added, "Can you imagine the maturity and audacity of this boy? He reminds me of 16-year-old Sachin Tendulkar...God has blessed him with X factor along with the game and power."
