His journey to cricket began soon.
He was only four years old when his father, Sanjeev Suryavanshi, a farmer, saw him breaking a plastic ball from all around with great power and time.
After a long day in the fields, Sanjeev will throw up his son’s underarm delivery and they will play together. Eventually, Sanjeev created a small practice area in his backyard, giving Vaibhav a place to improve his skills.
Impressed by his son’s passion and commitment, Sanjeev Vaibhav took Vaibhav to his first coach Brajesh Jha at an academy in Samastipur. After training under Jha, he took another important step – this time for Patna, where Manish Ojha helped to further shape Vaibhav’s cricket abilities.
The 90 km journey from Samestipur to Patna was not an easy task, but Sanjeev was determined. He bought a car and took his son to the academy. Vaibhav trained under Ojha in alternative days.
By the time he was 14 years old, Suryavanshi had already become a malignant force in various local tournaments in Bihar.
Whether it is the Heman Trophy, Vinu Mankad Trophy, The Challengers Trophy (U -19), or ACC Under -19 Asia Cup, Vaibhav, Vaibhav, checked every box while constantly rising through ranks to reach this important level in his career.
“Whenever he comes to the crease, he is a prominent batsman. He was patient for his turn. He played in the eighth game of Rajasthan Royals. Of course, no one wants to sit in a dugout and wants to play others.
