U19 World Cup: Armed With Maturity, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Aims To Shine At The Global Stage
Asia Cup Rising Stars T20: At 14, Vaibhav Sooyavanshi has already rewritten record books across formats. Now, as India prepares to launch its 2026 Men’s U19 World Cup campaign against the USA at the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, on Thursday, Sooryavanshi aims to shine at the biggest global stage in his cricketing career.
The left-hander's resume reads like a career highlight reel compressed into mere months: a 38-ball century in IPL 2025 for Rajasthan Royals, the fastest 150 in men's List A cricket off 59 deliveries, and India's second-highest Youth ODI score of 171 off 95 balls. His 144 off 42 balls against the UAE in the Asia Cup Rising Stars T20 match added more weight to his glittering resume.
But beyond the statistics lies a transformation that those closest to him say will prove decisive in the tournament ahead. Manish Ojha, who recognised Sooryavanshi's talent at age 10 and coaches him at Gennex Cricket Academy in Patna, a place 100 km away from his hometown Samastipur, sees him as a player who has evolved rapidly since his IPL breakthrough.
