Former cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin couldn't keep calm after Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi took the likes of Lockie Ferguson and Arshdeep Singh to cleaners during their chase against Punjab Kings in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). In just his second IPL season, Sooryavanshi has already earned the reputation of taking the big boys of world cricket down with his fearless hitting.

Tuesday was no different as the 15-year-old started clobbered Arshdeep for a 6, 4, 4 in the first over of Rajasthan Royals' 223-run chase. The madness from the youngster from Samastipur went on as the southpaw smashed the likes of Ferguson and Marco Jansen for one four and three sixes in the next two overs, racing to 37 runs in just 14 deliveries. .

Reacting to the explosive batting from Sooryavanshi, Ashwin couldn't hold his emotions as he took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his feelings. “Whatever you are doing, drop it right away because this not so earthling is batting and howwwwwww,” wrote the former India off-spinner along with four fire emojis.

The highlight of Sooryavanshi's boundaries was the flick of the leg with a bit of bat-twirl off Arshdeep that sailed over the deep mid-wicket fence. However, the carnage was cut short by Arshdeep after his round-the-wicket low ful toss did the trick as Sooryavanshi hit straight at the hands of rival skipper Shreyas Iyer. Sooryavanshi walked back for 43 in 16 deliveries, studded with three fours and five sixes.
