Two years ago, almost to the day, a star was born here. Yashasvi Jaiswal, then 22, remained unbeaten on a breathtaking 47-ball 98 that powered Rajasthan Royals (RR) to a nine-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Jaiswal, whose fifty off 13 that day is still the fastest in IPL history, will be back at the Eden Gardens on Sunday, this time in the company of another precocious talent.

All eyes will be on ‘wonder boy’ Vaibhav Suryavanshi after the teenager scored a 35-ball century, the second-fastest in IPL, against Gujarat Titans last Monday. The two had put on 166 for the first wicket, helping RR chase down a 210-run target with 25 balls to spare. However, both were dismissed cheaply when RR slumped to an embarrassing 100-run defeat at home to Mumbai Indians on Thursday.
