GT batter Jos Buttler praised RR's 15-year-old opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi by calling him "the best player" he has ever seen. "Imagine when he is 21 or 25, the world [will be] at his feet. So good to watch," said Buttler. Recalling Vaibhav's 175(80) against England in U-19 World Cup 2026, Buttler said, "You broke English hearts...It's awesome."
