In the much-anticipated clash between Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Jasprit Bumrah, the 15-year-old achieved what even stars like Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Shubman Gill, Nicholas Pooran, and Travis Head havent managed in T20 cricket against the formidable Bumrah.In a moment that perfectly captured the fearless spirit of youth, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi announced a jaw-dropping display against none other than Jasprit Bumrah during the IPL clash between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians in Guwahati. The contest, reduced to an 11-overs-a-side affair due to rain, still managed to deliver one of the most talked-about moments of the season, a teenager taking on arguably the worlds best fast bowler without hesitation.A Fearless First EncounterFacing Bumrah for the very first time in the Indian Premier League, Sooryavanshi wasted no time in making an impact. The young left-hander smashed the very first ball he faced from the Indian pace spearhead straight over long-on for a stunning six. The audacity of the shot even drew a smile from Bumrah After rotating strike briefly with opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sooryavanshi once again took on Bumrah on the 4th ball of same over. Anticipating a slower delivery, he picked it early and launched it into the midwicket stands, marking two sixes. Sooryavanshis innings was short but electrifying. He scored a blistering 39 off just 14 balls before being dismissed by Shardul Thakur, caught in the deep. Tejashyyyyy (@Tejashyyyyy) A Rare Feat Against BumrahWhat makes this performance even more extraordinary is the elite company it disrupts. Top T20 stars such as Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Shubman Gill, and Nicholas Pooran, all renowned for their explosive batting, have never managed to hit a single six off Bumrah in T20 cricket. Yet, a 15-year-old newcomer not only cleared the ropes but did it twice in a single over.Explosive hitters against Jasprit Bumrah in T20 cricket PlayersInningsRuns4s6sShubman Gill83440Nicholas Pooran61720Abhishek Sharma51710Sanju Samson136490Travis Head85780These T20 stars are renowned for their explosive hitting, yet 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi outclassed Jasprit Bumrah in their very first meeting, achieving what many established names have not. The comparison becomes even more striking considering that players like Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, and Sanju Samson have faced Bumrah extensively in the nets and over the years, yet have never managed to hit him for a six in T20 cricket. Despite being known for their ability to clear the ropes with ease, they fell short, something Sooryavanshi accomplished in a single encounter, underlining his immense potential and announcing himself as a future star of the game. 130103257

Nearly two-thirds of betting customers say they will refuse to hand over financial information under proposed online gambling affordability checks.A survey by the Betting and Gaming Council of more than 2,000 punters found that 65 per cent would not provide documents such as bank statements to prove their spending limits.The findings come as the Gambling Commission considers introducing mortgage-style affordability assessments for online bettors.Industry figures have warned the proposals risk pushing customers away from regulated platforms and towards unregulated black market operators.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayResearch conducted by the Gambling Commission involving 12,000 frequent gamblers found that more than three-quarters oppose the proposed checks.More than 400 figures from the racing industry have written to Lisa Nandy urging Labour to abandon the policy.Signatories include trainer Lucinda Russell, who trained 2023 Grand National winner Corach Rambler, and Robert Waley-Cohen, whose horse Noble Yeats won the race the previous year.The letter has been backed by trainers, owners, jockeys and parliamentarians from both Labour and Conservative benches.It warns ministers the policy risks causing long-term harm to British horse racing.The letter states: "Little wonder that growing numbers are now betting illegally rather than be subjected to intrusive checks more appropriate for securing a mortgage than engaging in a legal pastime enjoyed by millions of Britons."It adds that while the previous Conservative Governments intentions were considered sensible, implementation has failed.Grainne Hurst, chief executive of the Betting and Gaming Council, criticised the plans.LATEST DEVELOPMENTSFtse 100 jumps 3% as investors cut interest rate hike expectations following US-Iran ceasefireRachel Reeves's pensions inheritance tax raids force savers to withdraw 2.3billion from retirementsWetherspoons boss warns QR code ordering is destroying pub banter as profits fallShe said: "Ministers promised punters frictionless checks, but the Gambling Commission risks pushing ahead with the exact opposite."She added: "Forcing punters to hand over bank statements isn't frictionless, it's intrusive and will drive many straight to the illegal market, where there are no safeguards at all. This poll sends a clear message from punters."Ms Hurst said pilot schemes using credit reference agencies had raised further concerns."Trials using Credit Reference Agencies have already shown these checks don't work, with inconsistent and contradictory results that will force more customers to hand over sensitive financial documents."This will hit punters, fuel the growing harmful black market, and undermine the safeguards that exist in the regulated system to keep customers safe."The racing industry has warned the checks could cost the sport 250million over the next five years.The HM Treasury could also face losses of up to 200million in tax revenue if customers move to illegal operators, with British horse racing supporting more than 85,000 jobs and contributes over 4billion annually to the economy.The letter notes that the Chancellor recently allocated 26million to the Gambling Commission to tackle the black market in betting as critics argue introducing additional regulatory measures could strengthen illegal gambling networks.A Government spokesman said: "Any final decision on wider rollout will be made in due course."Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
