The ferocity and fearlessness of a 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be pitted against the combined might of an explosive top-order when a resurgent Rajasthan Royals run into a solid Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL Eliminator here on Wednesday.
RR's Dasun Shanaka, the Sri Lanka captain, says he has been blown away by the composure and poise of Sooryavanshi and he has not seen a "kid" like him in the dressing room.
"He [Sooryavanshi] is very professional. It's not about failing or getting runs, but what he does at the practice and how he behaves in the dressing room. How cool he is. I haven't seen a kid like him behaving like that in the dressing room," said Shanaka ahead of the IPL Eliminator.
"Even the seniors will put them [rookies] under a lot of pressure, but this guy is very cool. I really love the way he is coping with things, whether he fails or he gets runs. He is a very natural kid. I see a lot of potential in him. A lot of good things," added the Sri Lankan all-rounder.
