Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and his claims of his relation with AI have been doing the rounds on the internet for the past few days. Many people find it hard to accept that the young sensation is even human, or they joke that he must be utilizing an artificial intelligence chip in his bat. Even modern cricket players are questioning his human form due to the talent he displayed at such a young age. Sooryavanshi became the fastest player to reach the milestone in a single Indian Premier League (IPL) season with 400 runs from eight games, and don’t be shocked if, at the conclusion of the season, he becomes the youngest person to ever win the coveted Orange Cap. He is only 38 runs behind table-topper Abhishek Sharma, and with his incredible consistency, he might easily overtake both him and his seniors.
Jos Buttler questions Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in a hilarious text exchange with Jofra Archer
Jos Buttler, Gujarat Titans batsman, has questioned whether the boy wonder is real in an interview on his podcast, “For the Love of Cricket.” Fans were charmed by Buttler’s class act when he first met Sooryavanshi during this year’s IPL, calling him the greatest player he had ever seen. Buttler even contacted Sooryavanshi’s Rajasthan Royals teammate Jofra Archer, suggesting that he is still having trouble understanding the young player’s courage.
Buttler, while talking about his text exchange with Jofra, said, “I actually texted Jofra and asked, ‘Is he AI? Has Elon Musk created this teenage sensation who is just a wizard with the bat?’ But no, he is real – and he is brilliant to watch. He is becoming a seriously exciting player, and I think there’s a very good chance we could see him in England this summer.”
Is there AI in Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s bat?
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has captured the attention of both Indian and foreign fans since dazzling everyone with his incredible batting performance in the IPL 2026. The young prodigy has received a lot of awards and praises, but some people have begun making unfounded accusations. One of these was from the other side of the border. Dr. Nauman Niaz, a Pakistani cricket analyst, made a joke in response to Sooryavanshi’s hitting, saying that the teenager should have his bat tested and sent to a lab, just like WADA does drug tests. He also asserted that Sooryavanshi most likely had an AI chip in his bat because his batting seemed “unreal.” The quote went viral on social media because it had a young prodigy, a wild-sounding statement, and a performance level that already looked to be defying traditional cricket nomenclature. Replying to this, the young RR prodigy said, “Bhagwan ne laga ke diya. Upar hi bola tha ki bat mein tumhare kuchh lagake de raha hoon. Usika istemaal kar raha hoon.”
