IPL 2026: The Indian Premier League(IPL) 19th season has been incredible for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. He is in wonderful form and has played some brutal knocks in tournaments so far. Also, after the last inning, he played against Sunrisers Hyderabad once again. Sooryavanshi became a leading Scorer in the tournament. He again claimed that spot and reached the top of the table. A couple of days ago, in a hard-hitting, a Pakistani player alleged that there was something wrong with Vaibhav’s bat. Even though he said there is a chip in Vaibhav’s bat. Last night, Sooryavanshi’s Savage reply got attention throughout the internet
Nouman Naiz alleged Vaibhav
Pakistan cricket analyst Nouman Niaz recently made a lighthearted remark about teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, joking that the 15-year-old might have an “AI chip” inside him to power those massive sixes. Speaking in a video, Niaz said that just like anti-doping checks by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the youngster should perhaps be examined in a lab because his performances seem almost unreal. He added, laughing, that Sooryavanshi still looked like he was holding back a bit, suggesting he could even score at a strike rate of 300.
Naiz questioned Vaibhav’s Potential
Niaz also pointed out that physically, players tend to fully develop after 18, when muscle growth, strength, and hormonal peaks come into play—hinting that Sooryavanshi has even more potential to unlock in the years ahead.
‘Bhagwan ne diya hai’
After smashing a quickfire 43 off just 16 balls in his team’s win over Punjab Kings, Sooryavanshi was asked about the “AI chip” comment and his response matched the humor. He joked that it was something given by God, saying it had been “placed in his bat from above,” and he was simply making the most of it.
Vaibhav the brutal hitter
The young star also etched his name into the record books in the Indian Premier League 2026, becoming the fastest player to reach 400 runs in a single season in terms of balls faced, getting there in just 167 deliveries.
