IPL 2026: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi burst into tears; what happened after the match?
Rajasthan Royals, who lost the toss and came to bat first, once again got a solid start from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
New Delhi: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi may be a ferocious batsman on the field, smashing big bowlers with impunity for huge sixes, but he still possesses an innocent child within him. The same childlike simplicity and emotion, both on and off the field. Vaibhav, who often gets angry at himself after being dismissed for a bad shot, was seen crying bitterly last night. A video of his team, Rajasthan Royals, losing in the final over against the Kolkata Knight Riders is going viral on social media.
What is there in the video?
In the viral video, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi can be clearly seen after the match. The video, shot from behind, is seen sitting dejectedly, wearing jersey number 03. Sometimes he takes off his cap to hide his face, sometimes he wipes away tears. Meanwhile, a fellow member of the Kolkata Knight Riders squad comes and consoles him. With a hand on his shoulder, he may be telling Vaibhav that winning and losing are inevitable in sports.
This 16-second video had been viewed by over 1.25 lakh people at the time of writing this news.
