Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Attempts to Make ‘Gol Roti’
Amid the gruelling IPL season, the Rajasthan Royals were engaged in a fun culinary activity in order to unwind and de-stress from their high-stakes matches. And, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was the main attraction of the session as he attempted to make the perfect ‘Gol Roti.’
In a video posted by the franchise on its X handle (formerly Twitter), Sooryavanshi was seen attempting to roll out the perfect dough, radiating the same confidence he displays when facing world-class bowling. The 15-year-old jokingly said that his roti was ‘rounder than even his mother’s.’
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi even tried to showcase his ‘professional’ flipping technique, but the result wasn’t exactly what he expected. While toasting the roti, the batting star accidentally dropped it on the floor. Despite the kitchen mishap, he lightheartedly insisted on being called ‘MasterChef Vaibhav.’
The fun culinary activity organised by the Rajasthan Royals was not just about the food, but about building team spirit and giving their young stars a much-needed break from the intense pressure of the IPL points table.
