There is no denying that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is the next big thing in Indian cricket. At just 15, the teenage sensation has taken the game by storm, and at such a young age, he has become the Rajasthan Royals’ most important player. At his age, most kids go to school, but Sooryavanshi has been cut from a different cloth as the star player is ruling the world.
Amidst all the success the player has garnered, an old video has gone viral, in which the young Sooryavanshi could be seen appearing on the Pranit More show, the comedian who landed in trouble for the latest Rs 370 biryani’ joke made on his show.
The 15-year-old was all smiles as he appeared on the show alongside the RR manager, and More heaped praise on the youngster for his batting exploits.
When Pranit More heaped praise on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
During the show, the comedian addressed the audience, where he lauded Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for his stellar 175-run knock in the Under-19 World Cup final against England. India managed to score over 400 runs and thrashed the Three Lions, courtesy of Sooryavanshi’s knock.
Talking about the teenage sensation, More said: “He is such a nice boy. It was a point of pride for me, knowing he follows me on Instagram. He asked me before the World Cup final that I’m in Amravati. Can I come to your show? I told him please come. But then he said don’t take my class. I said you take Pakistani players’ class, so I won’t take yours. He is the real Dhurandhar. What a batting! Did you all watch the U19 final? He made 175 off only 80 balls.
During drinks break, umpire went to him and told him it’s a one-day and not a T20. England bowlers have kept a status, ‘Ek Bihari, sab pe bhaari’. There is also this reel that has come of Vaibhav comprising Complan.
Vaibhav says, ‘I’m a Complan boy’. He is young. Now all players think they must consume Complan to perform well. Even Babar Azam has started taking Complan. People told him it increases height not strike rate.”
The rise of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in Indian cricket
The Indian star first rose to prominence when the Rajasthan Royals splashed 1.10 crore during the IPL 2025 mega auction. Up until then, he was an unknown commodity, and the world laughed at the Royals. However, the world instantly regretted the decision as Sooryavanshi stole the show in his inaugural IPL season.

In the 2025 campaign, the southpaw smashed 252 runs in seven matches, with an astonishing strike rate of 206.56. He also registered a brilliant century against the Gujarat Titans to announce his arrival.
He quickly became an integral member of the RR squad, but the best was yet to come in the following IPL season.

Experts believed that Sooryavanshi would be a one-season wonder, and they tipped him to fail in the IPL 2026. The weight of expectations was high, and the 15-year-old certainly lived up to the hype.
While some of the big RR names failed to deliver the goods, Sooryavanshi dragged his side to the playoffs and scored truckloads of runs.
He played 16 matches, and slammed a whopping 776 runs, with a strike rate of 237.31. He once again scored a hundred in the tournament and finished as the leading run-getter to sweep away numerous IPL awards.
As a result of his IPL show, the BCCI selectors picked him for his maiden international assignment as Sooryavanshi was roped in for the T20I series against Ireland and England.
