While young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continues to impress in IPL 2026 with his explosive batting, something strange is trending online about his hitting. The 15-year old Rajasthan Royals batter has been scoring runs at a break-neck pace against the world's best bowlers and now an unbelievable thing is going viral about his batting. The claims of an "AI chip" in his bat started going viral after a comment by Pakistan cricket expert Nauman Niaz on YouTube video went viral and received a huge response from cricket fans and pages online. AI Chip Claim Sparks Online Reactions The Pakistani analyst theorized that the technology might be behind the power hitting ability of Sooryavanshi. Niaz said: "Think about it. What is this kid? Get his bat checked. Like WADA conducts dope tests, send him to a lab. He probably used an AI chip in his bat. He is unreal. What a player." He further elaborated that his technique and age combined were making his ability extraordinary. "When you’re 18, your body builds muscle, biceps, and triceps. This one is just 16. He was born when Virat Kohli was a world champion. He doesn’t have the power game as much as he has technique. He is a wristy player, plus if you look at his arc, he uses the full 360-degree range." Most fans are not taking the claims of an AI chip in the bat seriously, but his batting form in IPL 2026 has drawn considerable attention.
