The Gujarat Titans have been in some remarkable form this season with the bat, and all credit to those two openers at the top of their batting order. They have cut short a wonderful finish to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's dream season in IPL 2026, as the youngster leaves in tears after missing out on the first-ever IPL final spot.
Every time the Titans have managed to win matches, these two have dominated, as was witnessed in the clash against the Rajasthan Royals. Titans might not have had a star-studded playing XI, especially on their batting deck; however, the limited number of players they have kept their faith in in recent times. Following their extraordinary resilience, the Titans under captain Shubman Gill have made it to their third IPL final.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi teary-eyed after missing out on IPL final spot
The first-ever complete season for the Rajasthan Royals in his short career and 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has proved to the world why he is one of the greatest prodgies ever witnessed in the game of cricket.
Starting with brute force and variable consistency to two 90+ scores in IPL knockouts, the 15-year-old has proved to the world that age is just a number. Sooryavanshi finished the season with 776 runs across 16 innings with a strike rate of 237.31.
The Rajasthan Royals couldn't make it to the finals of IPL 2026 despite his brilliant knock of 96 against the Titans, and the boy was seen deeply hurt and with tears in his eyes as he walked out of the field, where he could have stood tall as a hero had his team made it to the finals.
