My focus was on hitting sixes, can score centuries in future: Sooryavanshi

Rajasthan Royals' star batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was not aware of the record of the fastest century in the IPL which he missed by three runs, but said his focus was on hitting sixes and and score maximum runs as he steered his team to a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator here on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, he made Cummins, a multiple time World Cup winner and among the shrewdest operators in the game, look clueless with his barrage of sixes. Cummins tried to curtail his free flowing bat swing by bowling full into the leg-stump but Sooryavanshi made instant adjustments to dispatch the ball over the Australian's head.
