Suryavanshi, who made history by becoming the youngest player to score an IPL century with a 35-ball knock against Gujarat Titans on April 28, faced a reality check in his next match with a two-ball duck against Mumbai Indians. However, Bond remains confident in his potential and emphasized the importance of not overcomplicating things for the 14-year-old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cVaibhav has been given a license to go out and just play, which he\u2019s done an amazing job at, for a 14-year-old,\u201d said Bond in the press conference. He further added that the coaching staff has been intentional in keeping things simple for the teen, allowing him to express himself without added pressure. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to panic with someone so young,\u201d Bond explained. \u201cHe\u2019s going to fail sometimes, and he\u2019s going to have to learn to deal with that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe missed out in the last game, but for us, you don\u2019t really want to panic with someone so young,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s had a fantastic start, but he\u2019s also going to go through the ups and downs. You know, he\u2019s going to fail sometimes, and he\u2019s going to have to learn to deal with that, with someone so young.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bond highlighted the learning curve that Suryavanshi is on and the Royals\u2019 focus on providing him with the right environment. \u201cAssistant coach Vikram Rathour works closely with him on game plans, but outside of that, he\u2019s just a kid, so we let him keep swinging,\u201d Bond said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The coach also stressed the importance of shielding Suryavanshi from the pressures of fame and social media. \u201cWe try to protect him from the outside noise,\u201d Bond said. \u201cHe\u2019s a lovely kid, quiet, and his determination and confidence have been spectacular so far.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While Bond\u2019s support extends to the young cricketer, he also praised the performance of Jofra Archer, Rajasthan Royals\u2019 best bowler this season, and encouraged his players to continue fighting despite being knocked out of playoff contention. Bond\u2019s message to the team was clear: \u201cIt\u2019s about attitude, the desire to compete and win, regardless of the points table.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Yeah, he's going great. I mean, it was a tough start for him. But now he\u2019s played every game. He\u2019s getting that continuity of performance,\u201d Bond said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
