While Indian cricket is still coming to terms with the extraordinary rise of teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, another member of the family is already beginning to make headlines with the bat. Ashirvad Sooryavanshi, Vaibhav’s younger brother, has produced another remarkable innings, further fueling excitement around the cricketing family’s next prodigy.
The youngster grabbed attention after scoring a blistering 168 off just 119 deliveries in a local match, an innings that quickly gained traction on social media. Vaibhav, who is currently touring with the Indian squad ahead of the T20I series against Ireland, shared a screenshot of the scorecard on his Instagram story, applauding his brother’s latest achievement.
Ashirvad’s knock was packed with attacking strokeplay as he hammered 19 fours and six sixes during his stay at the crease. The innings further enhanced his growing reputation as one of the most exciting young batting prospects emerging from Bihar’s cricket circuit.
ANOTHER CENTURY IN GROWING COLLECTION
The latest hundred comes only weeks after the 10-year-old had made headlines for scoring his maiden century in a local practice match in Samastipur.
Representing Cricket Academy Tajpur, Ashirvad smashed 103 runs from 87 deliveries in a free-flowing innings marked by aggressive intent. He struck 20 boundaries and a six while maintaining a strike rate of over 118 before eventually being dismissed by Prashant Raj.
The back-to-back centuries have drawn widespread attention and sparked conversations about whether another cricketing star could be emerging from the Sooryavanshi household.
Vaibhav is the middle sibling among three brothers, with Ujjwal Sooryavanshi being the eldest and Ashirvad the youngest. Like Vaibhav, Ashirvad is known for his fearless and aggressive batting approach and has already begun structured cricket training at a young age.
FOLLOWING IN VAIBHAV’S FOOTSTEPS
The comparisons are inevitable given Vaibhav’s meteoric rise over the past two years. The teenage batting sensation has become one of the most talked-about young cricketers in the country after his exploits in domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League.
Currently with the Indian squad for the upcoming Ireland series, Vaibhav continues to take strides towards establishing himself at the highest level. Meanwhile, Ashirvad’s recent run of scores suggests that another promising chapter may be unfolding for the family.
With consecutive hundreds and the public backing of his elder brother, the youngster’s journey is already attracting attention well beyond local cricket circles. For now, Indian cricket fans may be witnessing the early stages of another Sooryavanshi story.
