Dejected Vaibhav Suryavanshi drags himself off the field after perishing for a duck in RR vs MI IPL 2025 match [Watch]

Rajasthan Royals (RR) opening batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi fell for a second-ball duck in their IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians (MI) in Jaipur on Thursday, May 1. The 14-year-old was dismissed by Deepak Chahar in the first over of the second innings. He tried to clear the long-on boundary, but was caught by Will Jacks.

In RR's previous match, the southpaw had smashed the fastest IPL hundred by an Indian batter off just 35 deliveries against Gujarat Titans at the same venue.

Ahead of the fixture, RR head coach Rahul Dravid had said that Suryavanshi was bound to experience both crests and troughs during his career. He urged everyone to be realistic and admitted that the boy from Bihar was still finding his way.

"It's impossible to completely distance yourself from it [attention] 100%. A lot of you [journalists] can play that role as well, if the media can be responsible about how you write about not only his success but also his potential failures. Let's be realistic, he's going to go through some ups and downs. We're also going to have to be mindful of that he's a young man finding his way as well," Dravid had said (via ESPN Cricinfo).
