The much anticipated first clash between Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Jasprit Bumrah delivered.

The match between the Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians in Guwahati was truncated to 11 overs a side following a delayed start due to rain.

The young southpaw smoked the first ball he faced from the two-time World Cup winner over the long-on fence for six. The shot even elicited a smile out of India’s pace spearhead.

After exchanging a couple of singles with opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryavanshi picked a slower ball from Bumrah and deposited it into the stands at midwicket.

The opening pair brought up their fifty-run partnership in just 2.4 overs with all of MI’s bowling options bearing the brunt.

Suryavanshi was eventually dismissed for 39 off 14 balls, after being caught at the deep against the bowling of Shardul Thakur.
