Vaibhav watches Tom and Jerry and Doraemon before a match!
You'll be surprised to know what this young player watches on his phone before smashing bowlers. Most players watch videos of rival bowlers, but Vaibhav watches cartoons like 'Tom and Jerry' or 'Doraemon'! He shared this fun fact with Star Sports after the Lucknow match. 'My mind is completely empty. I still love watching cartoons, and it's a habit I have before every match,' Vaibhav said with a laugh, adding that his main goal is always to win for the team.

What is the real logic behind the cartoons?
The IPL is the world's most high-pressure league, and playing at 15 is no small feat. Vaibhav explained that watching cartoons helps his brain see cricket as just a game, not a burden. This way, he says, he doesn't feel the pressure. It helps him stay calm and relaxed on the field, allowing him to face even the fastest bowlers with ease.

Despite revealing his love for cartoons, Vaibhav couldn't perform as expected against the Lucknow Super Giants. He got out after scoring just 8 runs off 11 balls in that match. Lucknow's left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan got the better of him. Interestingly, Mohsin Khan became the first bowler in IPL history to bowl a maiden over to Vaibhav and also take his wicket.
