Dhawan says that the way for the success of Vaibhav Suryavanshi will be made how he handles fame and money,

Most 14 -year -old children bother for pocket money. There is no autonomy on his life. This is the job of their parents or parents, both are easy and difficult for them to decide. This is not the case with Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Prior to the age of 14, talented teenage cricketer bought Rajasthan Royals (RR) of Rs 1.10 crore in his bank at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction. He earned more than 52.50 lakhs during the season to play 7 matches.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s biggest challenge

Suryavanshi has already earned the most in India all his life. And this is just the beginning. We have allowed the players to go to themselves after receiving fame and money. These cricketers are not 14. Therefore it is necessary that Suryavanshi stays in a good environment.

Away from bad elements and yes men. Those who can derail their career as a professional cricketer. Former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan feels that the biggest challenge for Suryavanshi will not score runs to handle life outside cricket.

“For that, the challenge is how he is going to handle fame, meditation, and money too,” Dhawan told The Hindustan Times.

The former Punjab Kings captain feels that it is good that Suryavanshi is a part of RR. As his coach with two -level prominent persons like Rahul Dravid and Vikram Rathore. Kumar Sangakkara, another well -respected person, is also present to impart knowledge to Suryavanshi.

A blessing with him is that he was in great hands … Rahul Bhai, Vikram Paji (coach of Rajasthan Royals). He is a very, very good cricketer. They do not believe in making good cricketers only, but are also good people. It is very important to be a good person, “ He said.

IPL 2026 will be a challenge, predicts Dhawan

We have seen that the players have come to know after a successful season. Before Suryavanshi playing, it was negligible data to see what he excels and what does not work for him. But now everyone knows all this. The bowlers will have appropriate plans for them. Then there will be the weight of expectations from fans and Suryavanshi itself.

“I think the second year is going to be a little difficult for him. The bowlers will know what their strength is. They are going to make a better plan against him. He will face those challenges and grow. How he takes care of his mental health. It will be very important to move forward. Dhawan said.
