New Delhi: Fourteen-year-old cricket prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continues to make headlines with his record-breaking performances and ever-increasing rewards.
After a fantastic IPL 2025 season, he received a brand new car for winning the “Forward of the Season” award. The top variant of the car is priced at over Rs 22 lakh in Delhi.
Vaibhav was recently honored for his performance in the ICC U19 World Cup, where India emerged as champions. He met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and received Rs 50 lakh as a special reward for his achievements.
At the same time, the BCCI also announced an incentive of Rs 750 crore for the Indian U-19 team that wins the 2026 U19 World Cup.
In the World Cup final against England, Vaibhav scored a match-winning score of 175 off just 80 balls to help India win the U-19 World Cup for the sixth time.
Watch Sooryavanshi receive the car:
He hit 15 fours and 15 sixes and reached his hundred in just 55 balls, one of the fastest in the history of the tournament.
He finished the tournament with 439 points and was named Player of the Final and Player of the Tournament.
He first came to global attention in IPL 2025 when he smashed a century off 35 balls, the fastest by an Indian and the second-fastest in IPL history.
He also became the youngest centurion and debutant in IPL history. Rajasthan Royals signed him for Rs 110 crore, making him the youngest player ever in the league.
Vaibhav is already India’s leading U-19 ODI run-scorer and has broken several youth cricket records with his aggressive batting style.
He is now preparing for the 2026 IPL season and is expected to be one of the key players for the Rajasthan Royals.
