At just 14 years old, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is already known as one of the most powerful hitters in Indian cricket and the IPL. His impressive 35-ball century in the previous season’s tournament was just the beginning, as he continues to score massive runs and impressive innings across different levels of the game. Sooryavanshi made his India A debut in late 2025, showcasing his talent and promise at a young age.
Jitesh Sharma, who has played alongside Sooryavanshi in India A and Rajasthan Royals’ academy, praised the youngster’s natural power and strength, particularly in his wrists which allow him to hit massive sixes. Sooryavanshi’s ability to strike fear in bowlers with his powerful hitting style has drawn comparisons to Nicholas Pooran.
As Sooryavanshi gears up for his second season in the IPL at just 15 years old, all eyes will be on him to see how he responds to the challenges that come his way. With a young and talented batting lineup supporting him, Sooryavanshi has the potential to make a significant impact on the tournament in 2026.
