Vaibhav Suryavanshi is rapidly gaining popularity among fans. The 14-year-old's aggressive gameplay has helped him gain admirers. There have been no indications that the southpaw will slow down. With the exception of the fifth and final ODI, the young player destroyed the hosts in every match of the current Youth series between India U19 and England U19, scoring 355 runs overall in the five-match series.

Suryavanshi broke Pakistan's Kamran Ghulam's record with 143 runs in the fourth ODI, the fastest century in a Youth ODI. It is therefore not surprising that the young player is the main draw in the current India-England Colts series.

In order to see the young cricketer, who played for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, fans have been traveling from all around the United Kingdom.

To meet the left-handed batter, two girls named Aanya and Rivaa, who are the same age as Vaibhav Suryavanshi, drove six hours to Worcester, the venue of the fourth and fifth ODIs. The two young girls were sporting the Rajasthan Royals jersey, as they were photographed with the batter.

The Rajasthan Royals' official social media account posted the photo of the girls posing for a photo with Suryavanshi.

"Proof why we have the best fans. Drove for 6 hours to Worcester. Wore their Pink. Cheered for Vaibhav & Team India. Aanya and Rivaa, as old as Vaibhav himself, had a day to remember," Rajasthan Royals' handle posted on X.

The India Colts won the five-match series 3-2 thanks to the heroics of Suryavanshi. The left-handed batsman gave the visitors a strong start despite losing early wickets, with the exception of the last ODI.

Suryavanshi became well-known following his time with the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. When he scored a century off 35 balls against the Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, he captivated the attention of cricket fans all over the world.
