The promising cricketer has been making great inroads at a young age. Impressed by his fearless performance against a quality side like Australia, the fans hailed him as the 'future of Indian cricket' and hoped that he would carry the baton of India's batting in coming years.  

 

 

 

  Vaibhav gets his passion for cricket from his father Sanjeev Suryavanshi, who is an avid cricket fan but never got the means to pursue his passion. However, he decided that when he became a father, he would make his ward a cricketer. "I was a cricket tragic myself. But in Bihar, let alone cricket, there was no scope for any sport. I moved to Mumbai at the age of 19 and did a lot of jobs, such as working as a bouncer in a nightclub in Colaba, working in a Sulabh toilet or at the port," Sanjeev had told The Indian Express. © Instagram/vaibhavsuryavanshi "I used to spend my off days at the Oval Maidan. There young kids playing cricket would be covered by pads and helmets. A few of them were so good that one could watch them for hours. I decided it then only that be it a son or daughter, I will make my children cricketers," he added.
