Everyone’s eyes will be on Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who created a stir with the bat last season, in IPL 2026 as well. 14 year old Vaibhav, with his game, did not let the fans feel even for a moment that he is still only 14 years old. But now before the upcoming season of IPL, Rajasthan Royals captain Ryan Parag gave a big statement on Vaibhav and said that he is still a child.
Ryan believes that no kind of sporting pressure should be put on Vaibhav. Apart from this, he also appealed to the media to keep Vaibhav away from media attention as much as possible.
Riyan Parag happy with Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Taking part in the press conference, Riyan Parag said that my message is clear. Go and play. If the first ball is worth hitting, then hit it. No problem. Further praising Vaibhav, Riyan Parag said that Vaibhav has scored runs everywhere in the last one year. Very few young players have performed like this.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi shines in the very first season
Vaibhav was bought by Rajasthan Royals for the 2025 season for a price of Rs 1.10 crore. He did wonders in the very first season, scoring 252 runs in 7 matches at an average of 36 and a strike rate of 206.55. During this period, he scored 1 century and 1 half-century, in which the high score was 101 runs. Vaibhav is the Indian batsman to score the fastest century in IPL history. He completed his century in 35 balls.

It is noteworthy that before the upcoming season, Sanju Samson became a part of Chennai Super Kings through a trade deal. Till last season, Sanju was the regular captain of Rajasthan. However, in Sanju’s absence, Riyan Parag did a great job. Now after Sanju’s departure, Ryan has been made the regular captain of the team.
