Having seen instant superstardom, Sooryavanshi said that his feet are firmly rooted to the ground with his father Sanjiv and RR support Romi Bhinder always around him with sane suggestions. "They always tell me that it is a long journey and my focus should only and only be on the game," he said. He did admit that he was upset at getting out at 78 as his team lost out on

"I was batting at No. 5-6 last year. At the end, you have to win the match. The management showed faith in me to promote me to No. 3," Jurel said at the post-match press conference here on Friday. "It's just a number, I would say. I don't want a particular number. My character is like that... Even if you give me No. 8-9, I will happily contribute, even if it means hitting the winning six. Wherever the team needs me, I'm there." Coming in aft

"The way he is hitting shots. He is not slogging, he is hitting proper shots. For a 15-year-old, he is too mature.
