IPL 2026: 5 reasons why Priyansh Arya and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi are stealing spotlight

4. The ability to shift gears

It’s not just blind aggression. Whether it was Sooryavanshi’s fifty in Rajasthan Royals’ opening game against Chennai Super Kings or Arya’s measured half-century against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a steep chase of 220, both have shown the ability to pace an innings. They read match situations well, calibrate their shot selection, and accelerate when needed. Such maturity at a young age suggests they are capable of building substantial innings, not just producing fleeting cameos.
