As part of his Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 accolade leading into the 2026 IPL season, young prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his family have received a new Tata car. He will again wear the Rajasthan Royals shirt, and his spectacular output in IPL 2025 has led to Tata Motors presenting him with a Tata Curvv SUV. Together with his father and extended family, he shared a memorable moment when he received the vehicle keys during a grand celebration.

The teenage sensation was declared the "Super Striker" for IPL 2025. This accolade included a cash award of ₹10 lakh and the stylish Tata Curvv. While this award is the first in the budding cricketing career of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, it emphasises the impact of his power hitting during the tournament. This award ceremony was a time of pride and celebration for the Suryavanshi family, evidencing the rapid rise of this young star in Indian cricket.

At IPL 2025 auction, Rajasthan Royals purchased Suryavanshi for ₹ 1.1 crore, a decision that turned out to be very good value right away. In his first year, he scored 252 runs over seven matches with an average of 36 and an incredible strike rate of 206.55, which included one century and two half-centuries. With these remarkable stats at the age of 14, he is already becoming one of the most exciting young players in the league.

Amid this, the southpaw from Bihar has become a talking point in the England cricket arena. On the Stick to Cricket podcast, Michael Vaughan and Sir Alastair Cook discussed India’s strong T20 World Cup performances and highlighted 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi as a rising star. They said his batting shows remarkable maturity for his age and reflects the growing strength of India’s young cricket talent.

Vaughan and Cook said Suryavanshi brings excitement to cricket and shows that India’s youth programs are producing players who can shine on big stages.

Outside the podcast, Suryavanshi has received praise from many former players and experts. He made a record-breaking century in the IPL, becoming the youngest T20 centurion in India’s premier league at just 14.

He was also called “the best player I’ve ever seen” by England captain Jos Buttler after scoring 175 runs in the Under‑19 World Cup final against England.

His childhood coach says he could join India’s senior squad in 1–2 years if he continues to develop. Experts advise that his physical and mental growth should be carefully managed so he can reach his full potential without pressure.

It has been a peculiar situation for India’s captain, Ayush Mhatre, who, despite cracking the T20 and FC format for Mumbai, hasn’t done well in the U19 World Cup with a few scores, before the right-handed opening batter got a strong knock in the semifinal and channeled it with another good knock in the final against England in Harare.

Ayush Mhatre arrived in the crease and took eight balls to open his account before smashing two successive boundaries and a six against Manny Lumsden. It was a short length delivery as Mhatre waited for that and got into his position to nail the pull over the deep mid-wicket region in the eighth over of the innings.

Mahtre smashed the same bowler for two consecutive fours in the 10th over of the innings. He later went forward and drilled the lofted drive back at the bowler for a massive six to complete a half-century. On the very next delivery, he was dismissed for 53 runs in 51 balls at a strike rate of over 100, with the help of seven boundaries and a couple of sixes.

India U-19 star batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi lit up the U19 World Cup 2026 semi-final with a sensational helicopter six. The high-pressure clash against Afghanistan is being played at Harare on Wednesday, February 4. Chasing a massive target, India needed fearless intent early. Vaibhav delivered exactly that.

The moment came on the first ball of the 10th over of India’s chase. Nooristani Omarzai bowled a near-yorker, but Vaibhav cleared his front leg and whipped it for a maximum. The shot resembled MS Dhoni’s trademark helicopter hit. The timing and wrist work left everyone stunned.

Vaibhav’s solid foundation and high backlift made him unleash a tremendous amount of power. The ball went over the leg-side boundary with ease. The crowd went into a frenzy as the young man showed confidence beyond his age. It was one of the moments that would go down as one of the highlights of the tournament.

Vaibhav’s Blazing Knock Sets Up the Chase

Earlier, Afghanistan had posted an imposing 310/4 after batting first. Faisal Shinozada and Uzairullah Niazai both scored centuries to give their team a strong total. India needed a fast and fearless start in response. Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Aaron George provided that with a 90-run opening stand in just 9.3 overs.

Vaibhav was the aggressor, smashing 68 off just 33 balls at a strike rate of over 200. He reached his fifty in only 24 deliveries, hitting nine fours and four sixes. While he punished Omarzai with the helicopter six, the bowler had the final say. Vaibhav was dismissed on the third ball of the 10th over, top-edging a pull shot to mid-wicket.

Vaibhav has made a huge impact once again despite getting out. He has now scored 264 runs in six matches in the tournament, averaging 44 with three half-centuries. His fearless batting at the top has given India a huge advantage in big matches.

India Under-19 opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi once again rose to the big occasion in the U19 World Cup 2026 semi-final. The 14-year-old smashed a brilliant 68 off just 33 balls against Afghanistan at the Harare Sports Club. Vaibhav's fearless knock put India on the right track in the tough chase. The innings proved his increasing confidence at the international level.

Vaibhav began the chase against a massive target of 311 runs. He scored his half-century in just 24 balls, keeping India on the right track in terms of the required run rate. His fearless knock reduced the pressure on the other batsmen. Vaibhav, the left-handed opener, proved to be mature beyond his age.

Vaibhav’s knock was packed with clean hitting and sharp intent. He struck nine fours and four sixes, scoring 44 runs in boundaries before reaching his fifty. The innings added to his impressive tournament run. He now has 196 runs from five matches, including three half-centuries.

Big Knock, Big Impact in Semi-Final

The Indian chase got momentum with the opening partnership. Vaibhav and Aaron George added 90 runs in just 57 balls. The partnership ensured India stayed in control despite the challenging target. Afghanistan’s bowlers struggled to slow the scoring rate.
