14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi took on Ravindra Jadeja in the Rajasthan Royals pre-season nets — and the teenager gave the seasoned spinner absolutely no respect. Here’s what happened.
New Delhi: Season net sessions are usually quiet, but things were very different at the Rajasthan Royals camp in Jaipur. Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Ravindra Jadeja ended up creating a hilarious moment with the ball, leaving their teammates laughing and filming the scene. The clip has now caught everyone’s attention online.
Fearless Young Talent
Vaibhav plays cricket with a lot of confidence for a guy of his age. The guy from Bihar, who bats left handed was not afraid of spin balls. He figured out what Jadeja was going to throw before the ball even came he moved fast. He hit the ball really hard.
A lot of his shots went flying over the fence for sixes. He got boundaries easily too. In one turn at batting he hit five balls in a row for hits. Even Jadeja, who has taken than 600 wickets in international games looked really surprised, at Vaibhav.
Jadeja’s Challenge
Jadeja did not hold back. He tried all sorts of bowling. Sliders, slower balls, flying deliveries and variations to confuse the young player. Vaibhav handled each one very calmly. He played as if he had faced bowling many times before. When Jadeja finally got a hit he celebrated in a playful way. Showing how much fun and competitive spirit was, in the session.

“Paaji, Bahar Hai” Moment
The session was not just intense it was also light hearted.
On one ball Vaibhav said, “Paaji, bahar hai.”
He was joking around.
Jadeja found this funny. He laughed.
This small moment showed how comfortable the youngsters like Vaibhav already feel among the players, like Jadeja.
If Vaibhav continues to play like this he will be an asset for Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan Royals could really benefit from having Vaibhav on their team. He could open with Yashasvi Jaiswal this would give Rajasthan Royals a start. With players like Vaibhav and good leadership Rajasthan Royals looks like a promising team, for Indian Premier League 2026. Rajasthan Royals has a chance of doing well in IPL 2026 with Rajasthan Royals having strong players and good leaders.
