Two days, 2 centuries missed: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi livid with himself after 96 vs GT
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi missed out on another IPL hundred by just four runs as he delivered another batting masterclass during Qualifier 2 against Gujarat Titans. The RR opener was livid with himself as he made his way off the field after having missed out on a ton against SRH in the Eliminator.
It was heartbreak for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as he missed out another hundred during the Qualifier 2 clash against Gujarat Titans and the RR opener struggled to contain te anger at himself. Sooryavanshi was dismissed in almost similar fashion as he was batting on 96 and tried to get to the landmark with a big shot.

But much like in the SRH game, the ball went high in the air and caught at the third man region, leading to a stunned silence inside the stadium. The applause soon followed but the 15-year-old was beside himself on his way back to the pavilion.
Sooryavanshi started on a slow note as GT started with a clear plan of targeting his body. The 15-year-old got his first boundary in the third over of the innings, but wasn't at his explosive best as RR lost both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel early.
He added one more boundary in the same over and found the perfect partner in Ravindra Jadeja, who got ensured that the run-rate was boosted up and Sooryavanshi was kept calm at the other end.
Jadeja and Sooryavanshi added 73 runs before the former had to go off with an injury. Once again, Sooryavanshi kept showing bursts of explosiveness here and there but it was a far cry from the 97 off 29 balls against SRH.
He got to his fifty 31 deliveries and that was the moment where he went into overdrive. Once Jadeja returned to batting, Sooryavanshi was able to explode in Mullanpur, scoring 46 off 15 balls and raced into the 90s.
It looked like the stage was set for Sooryavanshi to get to his third IPL hundred, but then disaster struck for him and RR.
This also meant that Sooryavanshi tied an unwanted record in the IPL. He became the fifth batter after KL Rahul, David Warner, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Glenn Maxwell to be dismissed in the 90s for the third time.
