<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/ipl-2026-rajasthan-royals-score-203-for-8-against-mumbai-indians-23631971" rel="nofollow">RR&rsquo;s </a>Dasun Shanaka, the Sri Lanka captain, says he has been blown away by the composure and poise of Sooryavanshi and he has not seen a &ldquo;kid&rdquo; like him in the dressing room.
&ldquo;He [Sooryavanshi] is very professional. It&rsquo;s not about failing or getting runs, but what he does at the practice and how he behaves in the dressing room. How cool he is. I haven&rsquo;t seen a kid like him behaving like that in the dressing room,&rdquo; said Shanaka ahead of the IPL Eliminator.
&ldquo;Even the seniors will put them [rookies] under a lot of pressure, but this guy is very cool. I really love the way he is coping with things, whether he fails or he gets runs. He is a very natural kid. I see a lot of potential in him. A lot of good things,&rdquo; added the Sri Lankan all-rounder.
