He also got out several times. But on Saturday the Nets were in a devastating mood. The way he rampaged through the wickets on the side of the main pitch for range hitting, anything like that in the match could be a nightmare for KKR bowling.
In a press conference on the eve of the match, Rajasthan Royals coach Kumar Sangakkara also proudly said that he has given Vaibhav a license to bat with his instincts. No matter how much he scores in the previous match!
Sangakkara said, ‘The most important thing is to enjoy the game. I wouldn’t call getting out on the first ball a failure. A hundred, a quick half-century or a return to zero — all are part of the game. Vaibhav is incredibly talented, but even more important is his hard work. He understands the game very well. In T20 openers have to play aggressively. So no need to say much. I want him to continue his normal game.’
