However, the youngster’s decision was vindicated by a great performance in his IPL debut. He broke the backbone of CSK’s batting line-up by dismissing Robin Uthappa and Moeen Ali inside the powerplay overs.
In his quota of four overs, he completed with figures of 2/21. Vaibhav’s brilliant performance came on the same track where PBKS batsmen like Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, and even another debutant, Jitesh Sharma, tonked the ball. However, The right-arm pacer, on the other hand, was too hot to handle for CSK players.
