The choice initially paid wealthy dividends, driven by a unprecedented performance from 15-year-old opening sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The young prodigy tore into the Gujarat bowling attack, unleashing a spectacular array of boundaries. Sooryavanshi smashed 96 runs off just 47 deliveries, an innings decorated with 8 fours and seven sixes. During his explosive knock, he crossed the 1,000-run milestone for the season, becoming the youngest player to achieve this. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Middle-order stability from Ravindra Jadeja, who remained unbeaten on 45 off 35 balls, pushed the Royals to a sturdy 214\/6 of their 20 overs.
