Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: 'Yes, we are Biharis, we are a little cultured. Turn the soil into gold, that's the artistry...' This song by Manoj Tiwari may not have been filmed on Vaibhav Suryavanshi, but its lines fit the 15-year-old young batsman perfectly. The rule that Vaibhav Suryavanshi has established in IPL among the players from all over the world has given a new identity to Bihar.
Vaibhav has truly told this to the entire world that a Bihari is superior to everyone else. It is not easy to make your bat resonate among the big names of world cricket at the age of 14-15. But along with doing this, Vaibhav also presented an example of his values through IPL. He performed feats which the world considered a miracle in cricket.The plight of cricket in Bihar is not hidden from anyone. In such a situation, it was not easy for Vaibhav to take his feet out from there.
But, they say that talent just needs a chance. Vaibhav Suryavanshi grabbed that opportunity with both hands by passing the trials of Rajasthan Royals. IPL 2025 became the platform from where Vaibhav Suryavanshi got name and recognition. Vaibhav Suryavanshi never looked back. He is writing new stories of his successes even during IPL 2026. He is keeping his words true.In the NAMAN Awards held before IPL 2026, Vaibhav Suryavanshi had said that if he gets the first ball, he will hit it. He seems to be doing the same in IPL 2026. But, the fun came when he also blew away Bumrah's first ball.
By hitting a six on the first ball against Bumrah, 15 year old Vaibhav left a big message for world cricket and made Bihar feel proud. Generally Bihar was discussed for other reasons but now Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become the reason for this happening.View this post on Instagram
Bihar, where Gautam Buddha attained enlightenment, has also been a land of traditions for centuries. As much as the discipline that Vaibhav Suryavanshi has shown in his game during the IPL, his values have also been in the news. Be it the incident of touching Dhoni's feet last season or bowing down to Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra in IPL 2026. With each of his culture-filled pictures, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has not only left an impression of Bihar but has also won the hearts of the people.

However, these values of respect do not appear again in Vaibhav Suryavanshi's dictionary as soon as the cricket match starts. Players and bowlers who are older than him and whom he respects completely outside the field, create complete havoc as soon as they come against him in the match. Just like what Jasprit Bumrah did against Mumbai Indians and after seeing which Sri Lankan legend Angelo Mathews said that he plays as if he has no respect for the bowlers. He considered Vaibhav to be an amazing talent.
This kid suryawanshi has absolutely no respect for bowlers! What a talent

Bihari by state, cultured by temperament, Vaibhav Suryavanshi also has a third form, which the world calls miraculous. This miraculous form of his is visible on the cricket field. Vaibhav surpasses what people cannot imagine. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is breaking big records in IPL as if it is a simple task for him. Be it the record of becoming the fastest Indian to score a century last season or doing the feat of dismissing his first ball against big bowlers. That Vaibhav Suryavanshi did that at the age of 15 seems miraculous.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is breaking every barrier in front of him. Ending every suspense. He has also set a goal for himself for IPL and that is to break Chris Gayle's record of 175 runs. Vaibhav Suryavanshi's coach Manish Ojha has claimed on TV9 that he will break that record this season.
The way Vaibhav Suryavanshi has knocked on the doors of Team India in a very short span of time by creating a story of one success after another, he has made Bihar Cricket proud. It is not that the cricketers wearing Team India's jersey did not come out of Bihar before. But he completed his journey there by playing from another state. If Vaibhav Suryavanshi wears the jersey of Team India, it will be the first time that a boy from Bihar, who played in Bihar, will be seen making his mark on the chest of world cricket.
