    About Vaibhav Suryavanshi

    Vaibhav Suryavanshi was born on March 27, 2011, in Tajpur village, Bihar. His cricket journey started early, when his father—a farmer—noticed Vaibhav’s love for the game at age four. To support his son’s passion, he built a small practice area in their backyard and even sold his farm in Motipur to help fund Vaibhav’s cricketing dreams. After Vaibhav turned nine, he joined a cricket academy located in the nearby town of Samastipur.

    Why do you think the coach trusted Vaibhav Suryavanshi to play in such an important match, even though he was so young?
