Video of Vaibhav Suryavanshi joking with kids goes viral
A video of Rajasthan Royals batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi has gone viral on social media, showing him in a light moment with young fans. In the clip, the 15-year-old is seen jokingly telling children that he charges 100 rupees for a photo. The remark initially confuses the kids, who begin to walk away, before he calls them back and clarifies that he was only joking.
He then tells them photos are free and asks them not to take the comment seriously. The moment was recorded during a casual interaction and has been widely shared online.
Fans reacted to Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s viral video with humour, saying they were “manifesting” kids handing him phones for photos, and praised Rajasthan Royals for making a 15-year-old a social media talking point.
Strong IPL form and early impact in runs and Orange Cap race
Suryavanshi has also been making headlines for his batting in IPL 2026. The left-handed opener has continued his aggressive approach at the top of the order for Rajasthan Royals, building on a reputation formed last season when he produced one of the fastest centuries by an Indian in the tournament.
He recently grabbed attention again with a 36-ball hundred against Sunrisers Hyderabad, a knock that added him to the list of quickest IPL hundreds overall. His form has pushed him into early discussions around the Orange Cap race, with consistent scoring at the top of the order giving Rajasthan quick starts.
For Rajasthan Royals, Suryavanshi has become an important part of their top order structure. His intent in the powerplay has allowed the middle order more freedom, even if his innings often come with risk.
The franchise has backed him through the season despite his age, and his performances have kept them competitive in key matches. While still early in his career, his impact has already made him one of the most talked-about young players in the tournament.
