Sooryavanshi is Cummins' favourite player

TL;DR

Pat Cummins declared 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi his favourite player after the teenager hit another IPL century off just 37 balls.

Key Points

• 1.Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 103 off 37 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The 15-year-old has now hit a six off the first ball he has faced from Bumrah, Hazelwood, Boult, and Cummins — targeting world cricket's biggest names.
• 2.Pat Cummins declared Suryavanshi his new favourite player. Cummins, who took 1/27 in the same game, continued what the hosts call the 'visa requirement' for international players to lavish praise on high-performing locals.
• 3.Abhishek Sharma scored 135 off 68 against DC and called the pitch 'not easy.' The hosts interpreted this as a sign of growing maturity, comparing his mindset to Travis Head's influence at Sunrisers.
• 4.Punjab Kings remain unbeaten and top of the IPL table. The hosts discussed whether Abhishek's comments about playing 'the Punjabi way' amount to a come-and-get-me plea to the franchise.
• 5.DC were bowled out for 75 against RCB, who chased it down in 6.1 overs. Josh Hazelwood and BVK starred, with BVK noted as having 14 wickets to Bumrah's one in the tournament — yet the hosts would still pick Bumrah.
• 6.RCB's success is lamented as bad for the IPL's drama. The hosts argue that RCB's transformation into a data-driven, reliable team under 'Freddy Wild's evil regime' has killed their identity as the IPL's great tragic comedy.
• 7.Kagiso Rabada was filmed smoking a cigarette in his hotel. The hosts defended him, citing Shane Warne's legendary smoking habits and a prior cocaine headline, arguing relatable personality should be celebrated not condemned.
• 8.Harbhajan Singh reignited the 2008 slap-gate controversy by making an ad and asking Sreesanth to promote it. Sreesanth revealed he has blocked Harbhajan on Instagram, saying 'I'll forgive but never forget,' sparking a satirical business pitch for 'SLAP Proprietary Limited.'
• 9.Sachin Tendulkar turned 53 and son Arjun posted a birthday video but declined to eat the cake. The hosts praised the discipline, comparing it to Serena Williams refusing to let her daughter avoid consequences, framing both as admirable parenting from sporting legends.
