#1 Vaibhav Suryavanshi is dejected after bagging a two-ball duck

RR opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi tasted his first real failure at the IPL level. The last-match centurion was out for a two-ball duck on this occasion. The 14-year-old departed in the very first over of the chase.

Suryavanshi went for a lofted shot off pacer Deepak Chahar's bowling. However, he failed to get the connection right and was caught at mid-on by Will Jacks.

Disappointed with his early dismissal, the youngster stood at the crease with one hand on his hip before walking back to the dugout.

On the third ball of the ninth over, Dhruv Jurel hit leg spinner Karn Sharma for a six with a wonderful inside-out shot. Interestingly, the ball was lost behind the advertising board and Suryakumar and Dhir tried their best to find it.

Several fans expressed displeasure following the review, alleging that the 15-second timer had run out by the time the MI star signalled for DRS.
