Vaibhav impressed the Royals with his successive sixes.
“In Nagpur, he was asked to score 17 runs in one over, and he hit three huge sixes off the first three balls that he faced. He performed excellently in DC trials, too. That’s why DC was also interested,” Sanjeev told TOI. He went on to reveal that Vaibhav started playing cricket at the age of five in his home courtyard.
