Bihar CM Nitish Kumar is thoroughly impressed with the teenager. The official has announced a significant sum as prize money for breaking an IPL record.

Born in 2011, just as the IPL was blossoming into a global cricket spectacle, Vaibhav has risen swiftly through the ranks of Bihar’s domestic and age-group cricket circuit. He turned heads in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy 2023, where he amassed 393 runs in five matches, including a century and three fifties – averaging a phenomenal 78.60.

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar has awarded ₹10 lakh to 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who became the youngest player to score a century in IPL history. Kumar praised Suryavanshi’s talent and hard work, expressing hopes for his future success in Indian cricket.
