Well, Joffra Archer laughingly avoided giving a direct answer and said that he will talk about it only after the tournament is over. His answer made everyone smile, but it also showed how dangerous the young batsman has been throughout the tournament.
Sunil Gavaskar asked a big question as Vikram Rathore gave a funny statement to Vaibhav Suryavanshi
But surprisingly, there is one person in the Rajasthan Royals setup who says he manages to get Vaibhav out regularly in the nets, and that is their batting coach, Vikram Rathod. The former India batting coach claimed that he is probably the only person in the camp who frequently bowls out Vaibhav in practice.
During the live broadcast, Sunil Gavaskar asked Rathore if anyone in the team could really stop Kishore while batting. The RR batting coach smiled and said that he regularly bowls him out with sidearm throwdowns in the nets. But the coach did not reveal his secret.
He left everyone guessing and refused to explain how he actually harassed the youngsters during practice. Vikram Rathore said, “I think it’s just me. I throw it with my stick, and I really take it out quite often. I’m not going to tell you why.”

However, Rathore admitted that coaching Vaibhav is not too complicated as the youngster is batting in incredible rhythm. The veteran coach explained that when a batsman is in such good touch, sometimes the best thing for the coach to do is to remain quiet and let the player enjoy.
“To be honest, the way he is batting, as a coach, one important thing I have learned is that sometimes it is better not to say anything. And when someone is batting like that, it is the right flow. So, I am not saying anything to him. Just enjoy his batting, focus on batting well and that’s all.”
The coach believes that Vaibhav’s biggest strength is his mentality. This young player is not afraid of any bowler and is always looking for opportunities to score runs. He also works very hard behind the scenes and learns quickly from every situation.

Vikram Rathod told Vaibhav’s biggest strength!
Rathore feels that whenever teams try a new plan against him, Vaibhav adjusts very quickly and finds another way to attack and that is why bowlers have struggled to contain him this season.
He said, “His biggest strength is to work on his game. The way he is batting at the moment, he is almost a genius. But the way he thinks his cricket is good is a big strength. Whatever people are trying, he is responding to it. He takes everything well. He practices it. You can see he has all the shots. So far, he has responded brilliantly to everything. Let’s see how far he goes.” Are.”
