Talented batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s stunning batting skills have captured the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In his video address during the inauguration of the Khelo India Youth Games in Bihar, PM Modi praised the ‘son of Bihar’ and encouraged the youth to work hard and compete intensely to own the stage.
The young Suryavanshi, who belongs from Bihar’s Samastipur, became the toast of the cricketing world when he smashed a stunning 35-ball century for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat recently in the IPL as well. He also said that single-minded training and several matches he played to be ready for the big challenge contributed to Suryavanshi’s success.

“I have seen in the IPL, the son of Bihar, Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s spectacular performance. At such a young age, Vaibhav has set such a great record. There is a lot of hard work behind Vaibhav’s performance,” PM Modi said in his address. “To bring his talent to the forefront, he has played many matches at different levels. The more you play, the more you will shine. Competing in matches and competitions as much as possible is very important. The NDA government has always given it the highest priority in its policies.”
“The government’s focus is on giving our athletes the opportunity to play new sports. That is why the Khelo India Youth Games included Gatka, Kho-kho, Malkhambh and Yogasana. In recent days, our athletes have performed very well in many new sports like Wushu, Lawn Balls, and Roller Skating,” PM Modi shared.
