IPL 2026: 15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi commits suicide in Jaipur, even after the defeat LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka hugs him

The excitement of IPL 2026 is at its peak and young players are making new records every day in this season. On Tuesday, one such cult scene was seen at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, which won the hearts of the entire cricket world. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, just 15-year-old young batsman of Rajasthan Royals (RR), did what even the big giants did not expect with his explosive and tough batting.

In this storm of glory, the playoff dreams of opposition team Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) were shattered, but the diplomatic magic of his batting was such that the owner of Lucknow team Sanjeev Goenka himself became a fan of this kid.

93 runs in 38 balls: Missed the century by 7 runs, but won everyone’s heart.

For Rajasthan Royals, who were chasing a huge and tough target of 221 runs, Vaibhav Suryavanshi rained fours and sixes on the field from the very beginning. He played a historic inning of 93 runs facing just 38 balls.

Atishi Innings: During this innings, Vaibhav 7 brilliant fours and 10 skyscraper sixes Rooted.

Opponents stood in respect: Vaibhav missed his first IPL century by only 7 runs, but when he was returning to the pavilion after getting out, the opposition boss Sanjiv Goenka and head coach Justin Langer were seen standing and applauding in his honour. While coming out of the field, many senior players of Rajasthan including Ravindra Jadeja gave him a cult welcome. He was chosen ‘Player of the Match’ for this tough innings.

When Sanjeev Goenka forgot the sorrow of defeat and came to congratulate Vaibhav

It is very rare to see such a scene on the cricket field when the owner of a franchise comes on the field to pat the back of the opposition player who defeats his team. After the bitter defeat of Lucknow Super Giants, Sanjeev Goenka himself went to Vaibhav Suryavanshi, when Vaibhav was giving autographs to his fans. Putting aside diplomatic acrimony, Goenka hugged the 15-year-old and personally congratulated him for his excellent batting.

‘I will bid for you soon’ Sunil Gavaskar’s funny comment

When this cult scene of conversation between Sanjiv Goenka and Vaibhav Suryavanshi was being shown live on TV screens, the great former Indian cricket captain Sunil Gavaskar present in the commentary box could not stop himself.

Gavaskar said on-air in a light-hearted and joking tone, “I will bid for you soon.” The diplomatic meaning of Gavaskar’s statement was that seeing the way Sanjeev Goenka has been impressed by Vaibhav, it seems that in the next mega or mini auction, he will try his best to buy Vaibhav for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and can shower money on him.

Rajasthan Royals remain in the race for playoffs

Thanks to this stormy and explosive innings of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Rajasthan Royals achieved the mountain-like target of 221 runs by losing 3 wickets with 5 balls remaining (winning by 7 wickets).

With this cult win, Rajasthan Royals have strengthened their strong claim for the only berth in the IPL 2026 playoffs. Now the Royals will have to win their last league match at any cost to officially qualify for the top-4.
