NEW DELHI: From hero to heartbreak \u2014 social media exploded with memes and mixed reactions after teenage cricket sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi was dismissed for a two-ball duck in Rajasthan Royals<\/a>‘ IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians<\/a> on Thursday.
Just days after creating history with a whirlwind 101 off 28 balls against Gujarat Titans, the 14-year-old prodigy from Bihar found himself walking back to the pavilion without scoring a run.

The hype around Vaibhav\u2019s innings had built immense anticipation, but fans were left stunned when he mistimed a lofted drive off Deepak Chahar and was caught at mid-on by Will Jacks.
The crowd at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, packed with fans hoping for another masterclass, fell eerily silent.
Even Rajasthan Royals head coach Rahul Dravid, who had been visibly emotional and elated during Vaibhav\u2019s last century, looked disappointed in the dugout.
Almost immediately, the internet took over, flooding platforms with a barrage of memes \u2014 some sympathetic, others humorous, and a few brutally honest.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians had already put the Royals under pressure with a massive first-innings total of 217\/2.
Openers Rohit Sharma<\/a> and Ryan Rickelton<\/a> set the tone with a 116-run partnership. Rickelton\u2019s 61 and Rohit\u2019s fluent 53 laid the foundation before Suryakumar Yadav<\/a> and Hardik Pandya<\/a> finished strong with explosive unbeaten 48s each.<\/p>\n

Despite wickets from Theekshana and stand-in captain Riyan Parag, Rajasthan were left chasing a daunting total. With Samson absent and their teenage star faltering, RR\u2019s chase looked shaky from the start.
While cricket is often a game of extremes, Vaibhav\u2019s journey \u2014 from viral glory to a viral duck \u2014 is a reminder that even stars in the making will have their off days.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
