This isn't the first time the talented Vaibhav Sooryavanshi got emotional after a result didn't go his way on the cricket field.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was crestfallen after the Rajasthan Royals (RR) lost a thrilling encounter against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Sunday, April 19. This wasn't the first time the talented teenager got emotional after a result didn't go his way on the cricket field.
Sooryavanshi is someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. Previously, he has been seen getting quite disappointed in himself after getting out. It was heartbreaking to see the youngster sitting on the ground after the match, visibly distraught after the Royals' lost to the three-time champions in the last over, despite fighting tooth and nail while defending a below-par target of 156 runs. A member of KKR's support staff was seen consoling the Bihar batter after the match.
Take a look at the video below:
While it wasn't a memorable day for the Royals, Sooryavanshi played well with the bat. The ball wasn't coming onto the bat as nicely as it usually does at the Eden Gardens. However, the southpaw adjusted his game accordingly and scored 46 off 28 balls, hitting six fours and two sixes. He hit the legendary Sunil Narine for a six off the second ball he faced from the Caribbean spinner.
Sooryavanshi moved to No. 5 on the list of leading run-getters for the season. In six innings, he has amassed 246 runs at an average of 41 and a strike rate of 236.54.
