'Not just a boy, he's an era': Vaibhav Suryavanshi's heartwarming fan moment goes viral; two girls drive 6 hours just to meet IPL star
RR bought the young player from Rajasthan Royals for Rs 1.10 crore (1.10 Indian Rupees) during the IPL 2025 mega auction, but the left-handed batter grabbed massive attention from fans by owning a couple of stunning records, including being the youngest player to hit a century in IPL. He is also the youngest and fastest Indian player to do so.
On the other hand, in the youth cricket against England, the player also smashed a 52-ball hundred, notching up the record for the fastest hundred in youth cricket, even breaking Sarfaraz Khan's decade-old record.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi's fan girls drove 6 hours just to meet the player
Recently, Suryavanshi showed a brilliant performance in the U-19 youth ODI series that helped India secure a 3-2 win. The batsman is now gearing up for the Youth Test Series, which is scheduled to begin on July 12 at the Kent County Cricket Ground in Beckenham.
Well, apart from the matches and endless victories, Suryavansi is once again making headlines due to a heartwarming fan moment. In a heartfelt moment, two girls, named Aanya and Rivaa, who claim to be Suryavansi's biggest fans, drove a six-hour-long road trip to Worcester just to meet him.
But what made the incident even more interesting was that both the girls donned RR pink jerseys, which is Vaibhav's team. RR took to their X (formerly called Twitter) to share the photographs of their meeting, which quickly went viral.

Jasprit Bumrah Sacrificed Playing 5th Test For This T20 Tournament In 2026 Says BCCI Source : Report
India vs England 5th Test is ongoing at Oval while Indian bowlers led by Mohammed Siraj has been able to dismiss the English team on 247, the void of their ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah is clearly seen. Bumrah was officially released from India's squad for the fifth and final Test against England. This decision, however, was not abrupt. The BCCI had already clarified that Bumrah would only participate in three of the five Tests as part of a pre-planned workload management strategy. The move was aimed at avoiding a repeat of the injuries he suffered after playing all five Tests in the 2024–25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Following the conclusion of the Test series against England, Team India will now turn its attention to preparations for the Asia Cup 2025. With the tournament set to begin in September, the Indian team is eager to ensure that pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah remains in peak condition. A major update has now surfaced regarding his participation in the upcoming event. Bumrah's Availability for Asia Cup 2025 Despite facing criticism for missing two Tests particularly with India trailing 1-2 in the series Bumrah adhered to the pre series plan. He played the Leeds, Lord's, and Manchester matches, taking 14 wickets at an average of 26. Ahead of the Oval Test, India made four changes, resting Bumrah alongside Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur, and Anshul Kamboj, and bringing in Prasidh Krishna, Dhruv Jurel, and Akash Deep. Long-Term Test Future According to a PTI report, Bumrah is unlikely to feature in full five-match Test series for the remainder of his career. His next potential opportunity for such a series would be against Australia in 2027. Until then, India's Test schedule includes shorter two-match series against South Africa and the West Indies. 'There is an Asia Cup around the corner, and the T20 World Cup is also there. He would want to play those events. Considering his body, he can't play every game. He needs to be managed with extra care. Playing him at The Oval would have been a huge risk. Going forward, there needs to be a clear plan on how to manage Bumrah's Test career,' a BCCI source told PTI. India's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate acknowledged the complexity of the issue, stating that the team decided to respect Bumrah's request. In the three Tests he did play, Bumrah bowled 119.4 overs, and his fitness management has now become a central topic for selectors. A review meeting is expected after the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, during which officials will discuss Bumrah's Test future. Asia Cup 2025 Schedule The 2025 Asia Cup will be held in the UAE from September 9 to 28 and will follow a T20I format. India will begin their campaign against the United Arab Emirates on September 10, followed by a marquee clash with Pakistan on September 14. Their final group-stage match is scheduled against Oman on September 19. A top-two finish in the group will secure them a place in the Super Fours, from where the top two teams will advance to the final on September 28. While Indian fans are still protesting that the tournament shoulln't happen, it most likely looks happening.

The mysterious story of an unplayable Mohammed in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah
As soon as he disturbed Harry Brook's stumps via the inside edge on Friday evening, Mohammed Siraj took off on a celebratory run that culminated in a perfect Cristiano Ronaldo post-goal pirouette. The exuberance of the Hyderabadi, an unabashed fan of the Portuguese superstar, stemmed not from becoming the leading wicket-taker this series, but for stepping up to the plate again in Jasprit Bumrah's absence to reignite India's hopes of sharing honours. India's Mohammed Siraj celebrates the dismissal of England's Harry Brook during the second day of the fifth Test(AP) Within the team, he goes by jigra; his bag of skills is enormous and enviable, but even that pales in comparison with the size of his heart. In rain or shine, on pitches responsive and heart-breaking, he steams in ball after ball, over after enervating over, without a drop in intensity, without a frown or a furrowed brow. He shrugs off catches dropped as one of those things, he finds the energy around long spells to encourage the rest of his colleagues, he throws himself around on the field as if his very life depended on it. In so many ways, he is the engine room of the Indian side, alongside the effervescent, inimitable Rishabh Pant. Friday's heroics were typically Siraj, India's knight in shining armour when Bumrah isn't around. The arresting magic of the ace from Gujarat eclipses everything else and Siraj is no exception, though Bumrah is the first to acknowledge Siraj's role in his unprecedented success. But when there is no Bumrah to fall back on, Siraj is a totally different beast, revelling in the responsibility of the lead pacer that he could soon become his on a near-permanent basis, given the unyielding roadblock Mohammed Shami's Test career seems to have run into. Siraj loves attention, but he doesn't go looking for it. He loves a scrap because it lifts him, but he knows where to draw the line – for the most part, at least – because for all his aggression, he is without malice. There is a charming rustic simplicity about him, but he can be a complex puzzle to solve for batters because he keeps adding new tricks, such as the scrambled seam delivery that has now become one of his most potent wicket-taking options. There are some who freeze when thrust into the hot seat. And then there are others who take pride in being the main man, the principal weapon of destruction. No prizes for guessing into which bracket Siraj falls. A catalyst in Bumrah's absence When he is bowling in tandem with Bumrah, Siraj automatically becomes the support cast, the foot soldier to the more vaunted general. It's a task -- the work horse, the stock bowler to Bumrah's shock value -- he performs uncomplainingly, Without the world's top-dog, Siraj fuses stock and shock to a nicety, tireless forays to the bowling crease fuelled by a discernible uptick in energy and adrenaline. This isn't mere hyperbole. In his 25 Tests alongside Bumrah, Siraj has taken 74 wickets at an average of 35 and a strike rate of 57.3. When he has been thrust into the exalted capacity of the spearhead, he has picked up 44 wickets in 16 games at 25.59, and his strike rate dips by two overs – he snaffles a scalp every 45.25 balls. It's inexplicable, anomalous almost, but it's quintessential Siraj and that's what his teammates love and adore about him. Bumrah has reached a stage now where anything more than a five-over spell is an aberration. He gives it all in those five overs, but such is the need to manage his body that a sixth is fraught with risk. The lithe, athletic, tireless, spirited Siraj thinks nothing of backing up an eight-over spell with another of the same length with less than an hour's gap between the two. He doesn't believe he has the luxury of a long break between spells, and he can't just stand back and watch the action lazily from the outfield when he knows his team needs him. India's desire for batting depth meant they could only play three specialist quicks at The Oval. Between them, Siraj, Akash Deep and Prasidh Krishna sent down all but two of the 51.2 overs England survived on Friday. Siraj backed up four expensive first-spell overs with an innings-breaking three for 35 from eight overs, and still had enough gas in the tank to round off his day with a final burst of 4.2-0-20-1. By the end of the England first innings, he had bowled 155.2 overs, comfortably the most by an Indian, for 18 wickets, the most for any bowler. In Birmingham last month, when Bumrah was rested, Siraj catalysed India's victory with six for 70 in the first innings. An encore at The Oval might push him closer to stepping out of the giant Bumrah shadow, closer to keeping the spotlight trained on himself. That, really, is no more than what jigra deserves.
