NEW DELHI: Cricket talent runs deep in the Sooryavanshi family. While teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continues to dominate international headlines, his younger brother Aashirwad is now beginning to turn heads with his batting prowess.
Young Aashirwad's Stunning Century
At just 10 years old, Aashirwad Sooryavanshi smashed a brilliant century in a local practice match in Samastipur, signaling the emergence of yet another talented cricketer from the family. Representing Cricket Academy Tajpur, Aashirwad scored 103 runs off 87 balls, an innings decorated with 20 fours and a six, achieving a strike rate of 118.39.
His fearless approach mirrors that of his elder brother Vaibhav, who has troubled world-class bowlers consistently. Aashirwad's magnificent knock helped Cricket Academy Tajpur post 234/4 in 29.5 overs, with Shivam Raj contributing 52 runs. Upon reaching his century, the youngster celebrated by taking off his helmet, a moment that quickly captured attention.
Vaibhav's Acknowledgment
The achievement was celebrated by Vaibhav, currently in Sri Lanka for the Tri-Nation A Series featuring India A, Sri Lanka A, and Afghanistan A. The 15-year-old shared the match scorecard on his Instagram story, proudly acknowledging his younger brother's feat.
Vaibhav's Meteoric Rise
Vaibhav himself has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the last year. He recently earned a spot in India's T20I squad for the series against Ireland and England, as well as the Asian Games squad, becoming the youngest player ever to receive that honor at 15 years and 71 days. Currently touring Sri Lanka with the Indian team, he has scored 58 runs in two matches.
The youngster also had a dream IPL 2026 season, winning the Orange Cap after scoring 776 runs. He was named Most Valuable Player, Emerging Player of the Year, and Super Striker, while also finishing with the most sixes in the tournament. Among his many achievements was a record-breaking century off just 36 balls.
Future Prospects
With Aashirwad now making waves at the junior level, the Sooryavanshi family's cricket story appears to be just beginning. Cricket enthusiasts eagerly await the next chapter in this remarkable journey.
