Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Teenager, 15, wins car for IPL season achievements

Youth sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi won a car for his performance in the Indian Premier League but the 15-year-old will have to wait three years to drive it.

Left-hander Sooryavanshi has done well in the IPL this season, scoring 776 runs in 16 innings and a strike rate of 237.30.

He was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2026 season despite the fact that the Rajasthan Royals team could not reach the final.

The youngster also received the emerging player award and the Orange Cap, given to the top goalscorer.

His trophies included the Tata Sierra, a mid-size SUV popular in India, but he can’t get behind the wheel because the minimum driving age in the country is 18.

Sooryavanshi’s individual prize money totaled over £30,000.
