SRH vs RR, IPL 2026 Eliminator: Following Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 97 off 29 deliveries to stun the SunRisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2026 Eliminator, the 15-year-old has arguably become the most sought-after prospect in world cricket, especially among the other franchises in the tournament. In an explosive claim by an account on X, Mumbai Indians are reportedly targeting Sooryavanshi for the next season and made an hefty offer to play for the five-time champions.
SRH vs RR, IPL 2026 Eliminator: Are the Mumbai Indians looking to trade Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from Rajasthan Royals?
Having endured a torrid IPL 2026, Mumbai Indians may need to blood some youngsters into their side to take the team forward. With Sooryavanshi already hammering two hundreds and now holding the Orange Cap with a tally of 680 runs, the account on X have claimed that Sooryavanshi has been offered ₹30 crore by Nita Ambani to play for the Mumbai Indians. The offers also include a flat in Antilla and a private Island in Maldives alongside a blank cheque to the youngster’s family. Nevertheless, such claims are largely unverified as of now. Should the Mumbai Indians officially approach Sooryavanshi to ply his trade for their franchise, the Royals are highly unlikely to let him go.

SRH vs RR, IPL 2026 Eliminator: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi sent records tumbling as Rajasthan Royals set up Qualifier 2 vs Gujarat Titans
The 15-year-old prodigy sent several records tumbling, including crossing Chris Gayle’s tally for most number of sixes in an IPL season and the most maximums in a playoffs knock with 12. The youngster was only one ball away from going past Gayle for the fastest IPL hundred but Praful Hinge dismissed him. Dhruv Jurel also scored a fifty, while Riyan Parag chipped in with a cameo of 26 to take the Royals to 243/8.
The SunRisers tried their best as Ishan Kishan (33) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (38) stood up with some explosive cameos but they still fell short by 44 runs. The Royals will now face the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 to determine who will enter the final.
