Vaibhav Suryavanshi was India’s top performer in the Under-19 World Cup 2026, scoring 175 runs in the final against England and finished the tournament as the second-highest run-scorer with 439 runs behind only England’s Ben Hayes with 444 runs, averaging over 62. Suryavanshi had a strike-rate of 169.49 in the tournament with 1 hundred and 3 fifties and was named the ‘Player of the Final’ and ‘Player of the Tournament’ as well.

Following the conclusion of the board exams, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season is set to begin, where Suryavanshi is expected to return to action. Suryavanshi was retained for Rs 1.1 crore ahead of IPL 2026 season by Rajasthan Royals. RR announced their new captain in Riyan Parag on Friday.
Suryavanshi, aged only 14, became the youngest IPL centurion after his maiden ton against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur in IPL 2025 season. He finished last season with 252 runs at a strike-rate of 206.55.
