The Sooryavanshi family may have already given Indian cricket one of its brightest young stars in Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, but it appears another prodigious talent is waiting in the wings.
While cricket fans eagerly await Vaibhav’s potential international debut for India, his younger brother Ashirvad Sooryavanshi has grabbed attention with a remarkable batting performance in a local match in Bihar.
Just 10 years old, Ashirvad recently hammered an impressive 168 runs off 199 deliveries while representing Rishav XI. His marathon innings featured 19 boundaries and six towering sixes, showcasing a level of maturity and shot-making ability rarely seen in players of his age.
The knock quickly became a talking point after Vaibhav shared a photograph of his younger brother celebrating the milestone on social media. The proud elder sibling also posted the scorecard, giving cricket fans a glimpse of another emerging talent from the family.
What’s even more impressive is that this wasn’t a one-off performance.
Earlier this month, Ashirvad had already announced his arrival by scoring a brilliant 103 runs from just 87 balls while playing for Cricket Academy Tajpur in Bihar’s Samastipur district. The back-to-back centuries have sparked excitement among local cricket followers, many of whom believe the youngster could follow in his brother’s footsteps.
Following In Vaibhav’s Footsteps
Ashirvad’s growing reputation comes at a time when Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is enjoying a dream rise in Indian cricket.
The 15-year-old became a sensation after making his Indian Premier League debut for Rajasthan Royals in 2025. His fearless batting immediately caught attention, and he continued his extraordinary rise in IPL 2026 by finishing as the tournament’s highest run-scorer.
Vaibhav also played a crucial role in India’s Under-19 World Cup triumph earlier this year. His unforgettable 175-run knock against England in the final helped India secure the title and cemented his status as one of the most exciting young cricketers in the world.
Those performances earned him a maiden call-up to India’s senior squad for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England.
Excitement Builds For Vaibhav’s Debut
The hype surrounding Vaibhav’s selection has extended beyond India. Former India and Ireland cricketer MV Narasimha Rao recently revealed that cricket fans across Europe are eager to witness the teenager’s potential debut in Belfast.
According to Rao, there has been a surge in demand for tickets, with supporters travelling from different countries to watch the young batting sensation in action.
He also believes the conditions in Ireland could suit Vaibhav’s attacking style, as the pitches are generally slower and may allow him to play his natural game.
A New Cricketing Family?
With Vaibhav already on the verge of international cricket and Ashirvad producing eye-catching performances at just 10 years of age, the Sooryavanshi family could soon become one of Indian cricket’s most exciting success stories.
While Vaibhav prepares for the biggest challenge of his young career, Ashirvad is quietly building his own reputation with the bat. If his recent performances are any indication, cricket fans may soon be hearing the Sooryavanshi name even more often in the years to come.
For now, the spotlight may belong to Vaibhav, but Ashirvad has made one thing clear—there is another talented Sooryavanshi ready to make his mark on the game.
