Vaibhav Sooryavanshi once again grabbed attention, but this time it wasn’t for his explosive batting—it was for a light-hearted off-field moment that quickly went viral. In a video shared by Rajasthan Royals, the teenage sensation was seen playfully pranking two young fans who approached him for pictures.

In a humorous exchange, Sooryavanshi jokingly asked the kids for “payment” in return for clicking photos. Taking the request seriously, one of the children even offered ₹100 per picture, leaving the young cricketer in splits. He quickly clarified that it was all in good fun, turning the interaction into a wholesome and memorable moment.

While the prank showcased his playful personality, Sooryavanshi’s on-field performances continue to make headlines in IPL 2026. The RR opener has been in sensational form, recently smashing a blistering century against Sunrisers Hyderabad. His rapid rise began last season, when he registered a record-breaking ton, establishing himself as one of the most exciting young talents in Indian cricket.

Interestingly, the youngster also opened up about dealing with setbacks. After being dismissed for a golden duck in a previous game, he admitted that certain comments affected him more than usual.

He explained that while he generally avoids outside noise, personal remarks can sometimes have an impact. However, instead of letting it weigh him down, Sooryavanshi used it as motivation to bounce back stronger.

The comments were believed to be linked to earlier remarks from Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Praful Hinge, who had revealed a pre-planned strategy to dismiss him. But if anything, that challenge seems to have only fueled Sooryavanshi’s hunger, both as a performer and a personality to watch.
