The IPL season is currently going on, and every evening cricket fans relieve the fatigue of the day by watching the match. In this connection, yesterday – on 19th May – a tremendous match was played between Rajasthan and Lucknow. Batting first, Lucknow team scored a total of 220 runs in 20 overs, giving Rajasthan a target of 221 runs. Then, Rajasthan team came out to chase this target and won the match by scoring 225 runs in just 19.1 overs. During this innings, Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 93 runs; However, his celebration after completing his half-century has become a topic of discussion. The special thing is that as soon as he reached the 50-run mark, Vaibhav made the shape of the letter ‘A’ with his hands, and now people are curious to know what this gesture means. Let us shed some light on this matter.
Why did Vaibhav make the sign of ‘A’?
Vaibhav actually answered this question during a conversation with Romi Bhinder. Bhinder asked him what this ‘A’ sign stood for. In response, Vaibhav said, “I have dedicated this to my mother. Her name starts with the letter ‘A’.” He further said that initially he did not intend to tell everyone about this. Furthermore, he told that he wants to continue this tradition in the future also. So, it’s possible that this gesture will become a regular thing as a celebration whenever he hits a milestone.
It is worth noting that during the match against Lucknow, Vaibhav Suryavanshi crossed the 500-run mark in the current IPL season. By achieving this milestone, Vaibhav has become the youngest player in the world to score 500 runs in any T20 tournament. To create this historic record, Vaibhav needed 14 runs – a feat he accomplished in just 14 balls in yesterday’s match. With this historic performance, he also broke the previous record held by Rishabh Pant. Earlier, the record of the youngest player to score 500 runs in an IPL season was in the name of Rishabh Pant, who achieved this brilliant feat in 2018.
