Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is winning hearts on and off the field during the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 15-year-old has been in surreal form with the bat, captivating the cricket fraternity with his exemplary talent. Meanwhile, he is also giving an account of his kind demeanour off the field.
In a video shared by the Rajasthan Royals on social media, Sooryavanshi, who recently slammed a 35-ball century against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, was welcomed at the team hotel with a garland. However, he presented it to a young kid waiting with other fans to catch a glimpse of the Riyan Parag-led side.

Parag and Co. will return to action on Tuesday, as they face the undefeated Punjab Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. The Royals will look to bounce back strongly after they lost their most recent fixture, which was against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, April 25. The Orange Army chased down a 229-run target with nine balls to spare.
