Rajasthan Royals teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is reportedly set to become one of the biggest commercial stars in Indian cricket after his explosive IPL 2026 campaign. The 15-year-old opener has taken the tournament by storm with fearless batting, and his performances are now attracting massive sponsorship offers from several leading brands, including top tyre manufacturers.

According to reports, Sooryavanshi is currently earning around INR 50 lakh annually through his existing bat sponsorship agreement. However, following his sensational rise in IPL 2026, companies are now willing to spend heavily to secure his endorsement rights. One report even claimed that an unnamed company has offered the Rajasthan Royals star a “blank cheque” deal to feature its branding on his bat.
The Bihar youngster has emerged as the face of IPL 2026 after scoring 680 runs in 15 matches at an astonishing strike rate of 242.85. His fearless strokeplay, record-breaking six-hitting ability and match-winning knocks have rapidly transformed him into one of the most marketable cricketers in the country.

Industry experts believe Sooryavanshi could soon surpass some of India’s biggest cricket stars in bat sponsorship earnings. Established names like Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill reportedly earn between INR 3 crore and INR 8 crore annually through major bat endorsement deals. However, reports suggest Sooryavanshi has already received offers exceeding INR 12 crore per year.

“If Rishabh Pant, who currently plays only one format regularly, can command INR 8 crore annually, it is obvious that Sooryavanshi’s value has skyrocketed after this IPL season,” a source reportedly told CricBlogger.
Traditional bat manufacturers may struggle to match such enormous financial offers, especially since many deals include performance-based incentives. However, major corporate brands and tyre companies such as MRF and CEAT have the financial power to aggressively target emerging cricket superstars.
