Vaibhav Suryavanshi Makes CSK Pay For Dropped Catch, Punishes Matt Henry En Route Manic Fifty

Vaibhav Suryavanshi needs no second invitation to feast on the slightest of oppositions' frailties. All of 15, the Rajasthan Royals prodigy has time and again showed how ruthless and fearless he is with his strokemaking, and Matt Henry was the latest bowler to discover that on Monday (March 30, 2026).

Suryavanshi was dropped by Kartik Sharma, a wicketkeeper otherwise who was manning the outfield for Chennai Super Kings, off the first ball he faced. The undeterred southpaw smacked a six off the very next delivery during the third match of Indian Premier League 2026 at Guwahati's Barsapara Stadium.

Henry is one of the best bowlers in the business and the teenager put the Kiwi speedster under pressure straightaway. Suryavanshi continued in the same vein to blast a 15-ball fifty before perishing for a whirlwind 52 off 17.

Earlier, RR made good use of the overhead conditions to bowl out a sluggish CSK for 127 in 19.4 overs. It was a forgettable batting performance for Chennai, who were put in to bat by Riyan Parag considering the pitch had been under cover for a while due to rain.

Sanju Samson, star of India's T20 World Cup triumph, could not fire on his CSK debut. In an attempt to dispatch Nandre Burger over mid-wicket, he saw his off-stumped dislodged with a sharp delivery that seamed away.
