India’s young sensation, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, is enjoying a dream season in the ongoing Tata Indian Premier League 2026 (TATA IPL 2026), but suddenly, an unexpected controversy broke out.
The 15-year-old batsman is thrashing world-class bowlers all over the field without any fear in the ongoing IPL 2026 and is winning hearts all over the world with his stormy batting. Amidst his heroics for Rajasthan Royals this season, bizarre claims have emerged.
Strange claim on Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s fearless batting in IPL 2026!
A shocking claim started doing the rounds after his explosive century against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Jaipur. Renowned Pakistani analyst Nauman Niaz has created a massive controversy by raising doubts over Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s power-hitting in the ongoing IPL 2026.

Niaz feels that the left-handed batsman is in very good shape for his age and has sought some laboratory tests on the Indian sensation. The Pakistani analyst has even hinted that perhaps some technology is helping him hit powerful and incredible shots. However, he lauded the RR opener’s technique and timing, saying that his ability to play shots all around the ground is what makes him special.
He probably used AI chip in his bat: Pakistani analyst
Nauman Niaz said in a show called ‘Smashhit’: “Think about it. What is this kid? Check his bat. Like WADA does dope tests, send him to some laboratory. He probably used an AI chip in his bat. He is unreal. What a player. I thought he was playing a little slow.
It made me think what kind of guy is this? When you are 18 years old, your body builds muscles, biceps and triceps. He is only 16 years old. It was born when Virat Kohli was the world champion. They don’t have the power game as much as they have the technique. He is a wrist player; Also, if you look at this arc, it used a full 360 degrees.”
AI chip in Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s bat?
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is batting as if he has an AI chip installed. To be honest, just like we have doping tests, he should also be tested. He doesn’t look like a human. What a player he is!! Unreal! – Dr Nauman Niaz #TATAIPL #RRvsSRH #IPL2026 pic.twitter.com/xUZ4eg2iyU

In just one year, Vaibhav achieved what it takes many players years to achieve. He has scored runs in countries like England, Australia and South Africa and also played a big role in India winning the Under-19 World Cup earlier this year.
Carlos Brathwaite warns BCCI not to rush to include Vaibhav Suryavanshi in Team India
Now, there is a massive demand for him to be called up to India after his power-hitting in the ongoing tournament. But Carlos Brathwaite has warned BCCI against such calls, as he cited the example of former West Indies batsman Brian Lara.
Brathwaite said, “I apologize, Vaibhav, but if you look at how the West Indies handled Brian Lara. He was a generational talent, everyone knew that. So, what did the West Indies do? They mixed him with Viv Richards and whatnot, but he did not play international cricket. It was a different time with a lot of tour games, and he had distanced himself from the senior players without even making his debut. And then we know How his career was going once he made his debut.”
