'It Was For My Mother': Sooryavanshi Reveals Reason Behind Unique Half-century Celebration Vs LSG
Lucknow Super Giants: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi revealed that the special hand gesture he made after reaching his half-century during Rajasthan Royals’ thrilling seven-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants was dedicated to his mother, saying the emotional celebration was personal because her name starts with the letter “A”.
The young opener played one of the finest knocks of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, smashing a breathtaking 93 off just 38 balls to power RR to a stunning chase of 221 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. His innings, laced with 10 sixes, helped keep RR alive in the playoff race.
Speaking after the match, Sooryavanshi finally explained the meaning behind the now-viral celebration he made after completing his fifty. “I dedicated it to my mother. I didn’t want to tell everyone because this is personal. Actually, it was for her. Her name starts with A, so I made it,” he said in a video released by Rajasthan Royals on X.
