Sat May 03 10:46:10 UTC 2025: ## IPL Teen Sensation Suryavanshi Out for Duck; Chahar Credits Luck and Strategy

**Mumbai, India** – Rajasthan Royals’ teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who recently captivated IPL audiences with a stellar performance, was dismissed for a 2-ball duck against the Mumbai Indians on Thursday. The young opener’s meteoric rise took a sudden downturn as Mumbai Indians pacer Deepak Chahar claimed his wicket early in the innings.

Chahar, whose own season has been inconsistent, attributed Suryavanshi’s dismissal to a combination of pre-planned strategy and luck. He explained that the MI bowling attack strategizes against every batter, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and that their plan simply worked out on this occasion. Despite the quick dismissal, Chahar praised Suryavanshi’s talent and predicted a bright future for the 14-year-old.

“I think he played a breathtaking knock last night,” Chahar said, referencing Suryavanshi’s previous match. “So there’s a pattern to every batsman. We make plans for every batter, not just him. Today it went our way, we were lucky, but he’s a good talent.”

Chahar’s economical spell of 2 overs yielded just 13 runs and the single wicket of Suryavanshi. His bowling partner, Trent Boult, also contributed to the early success, dismissing Rajasthan Royals’ Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya commented on the team’s overall strategy, emphasizing a return to basics: “People are going back to what is called batsmanship – hitting the gaps, running hard. We are going back to simple cricket, and it is working for us.”

The match highlighted both the unpredictable nature of the IPL and the burgeoning talent of young Suryavanshi, whose future in the league remains promising despite this setback.
