Former India captain Sourav Ganguly met IPL’s wunderkind Vaibhav Suryavanshi after the Rajasthan Royals’ match against Kolkata Knight Riders. Vaibhav, who had a second successive batting failure, was consoled by Ganguly who encouraged him to continue playing fearless cricket. Ganguly also met with Sanju Samson and coach Rahul Dravid before catching up with Vaibhav, who had recently made headlines for scoring a T20 century at just 14 years old.
Despite Riyan Parag’s impressive innings of 95 off 45 balls, Rajasthan Royals fell short in their run chase against Kolkata Knight Riders. The team has struggled as a chasing side in IPL 2025 and is currently eighth in the league standings, out of playoff contention.
Ganguly’s pep talk and encouragement to Vaibhav may inspire the young batter to bounce back from his recent setbacks and continue playing his natural game. The meeting between the former captain and the promising youngster highlights the mentorship and support system within the cricketing community.
