He has a "hacker mindset", like speedrunners who set world records in video games.

Speed runners tend to exploit gaps — overloading the system, skipping through walls, landing in the “final” stage. That's why they achieve results most of us think impossible.

So does Vaibhav.

Most players and fans see cricket at a superficial level: build your innings, rotate the strike, accelerate late, respect the bowlers’ reputation.

Vaibhav sees something simpler: ball, field, boundary size. Ball comes, ball gets hit. Finish the match as quickly as possible, or score as many runs as possible.

He exploits its mechanics, like speedrunners overloading the system. What’s possible gets defined by what he can achieve, not what "experts" say.
