'Sir, kal se cricket khel sakte hain?': What Vaibhav Sooryavanshi asked the doctors after being hit on the helmet
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, at 15, is taking the world’s best bowlers to the cleaners. After taking on Mumbai Indians' Jasprit Bumrah a few days ago, he tore apart Royal Challengers Bengaluru seamers Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar as well. Sooryavanshi does not bother with reputations or resumes.
The youngster bats with rare clarity and shows intent from ball one, and his personal side-arm thrower back in Tajpur, Samastipur, is not surprised at all.
NEW DELHI: Aditya Thakur, 20, is a budding cricketer. He is currently travelling between cities to improve his batting so he can make it into the Bihar U-23 side for the 2026-27 domestic season. But whenever the Rajasthan Royals play, he makes sure to watch the game because his younger brother, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, plays for the franchise.
Aditya hails from Ramapur Maheshpur, a village next to Sooryavanshi's village, Tajpur, in Samastipur. He has been Sooryavanshi's side-arm thrower for the past five years. He is not surprised by the way the teenager is batting: with clarity and intent from ball one.
"I am not surprised at all," Aditya, who is currently training in Jaipur, told TimesofIndia. com. After taking on Mumbai Indians' Jasprit Bumrah a few days ago, Sooryavanshi tore apart Royal Challengers Bengaluru seamers Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar as well on Friday evening.
