Vaibhav Suryavanshi captured the imagination of cricket fans around the world with a scintillating century off just 35 balls against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. The boy from Bihar is just 14 years old and has already shown the ability to dominate some world-class international bowlers.

Interestingly, many believed that the 14-year-old would find it hard to break into Rajasthan Royals' playing XI after the franchise bought him for 1.10 Crore in the mega auction. The youngster, though, had luck on his side and got a chance when Sanju Samson got injured in Delhi.

The left-handed batter then notched up many impactful knocks, and he is now a household name in India. His journey has been inspirational, and his parents have played a big role in his success. Now, in an exclusive chat with Dainik Jagran, Vaibhav Suryavanshi's father, Sanjeev, has revealed how IPL 2025 has changed his family's life.

Sanjeev Suryavanshi mentioned that it is a matter of pride that people know him by his son's name, and he gets a lot of respect wherever he goes. He also thanked Rahul Dravid, Zubin Bharucha and Rajasthan Royals batting coach, Vikram Rathour for their support to Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The senior Suryavanshi also stated that Bihar is getting lot of fame due to the exploits of his son in IPL 2025.

"It is a matter of pride for every father that he is known by his son's name. Wherever I go now, I get a lot of respect. People also come to meet me. For us, this is like a dream come true. It is a matter of great pride to score runs in IPL at such a young age. I thank Rahul Dravid Sir, Zubin Bharucha Sir and Rajasthan Royals batting coach Vikram Rathore, who showed faith in my son (Vaibhav Suryavanshi). Everyone was very happy to see his game. Due to this, Bihar is getting fame all over the world."

Vaibhav's father also revealed that his son no longer eats Litti Chokha (a famous dish in Bihar) and takes a very balanced diet. He stated that the 14-year-old works hard in the gym to keep himself in the best possible shape.

"No, he doesn't eat anymore. Now he takes a very balanced diet. He goes to the gym. He had gained a lot of weight, he has to reduce it."

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will next be seen in action in England for India U19, where the young brigade led by Ayush Mhatre will play five ODIs and two Test matches.
