India’s great VVS Laxman recommended Rahul Dravid to Vaibhav Suryavanshi for Rajasthan Royals: “See him crying …”

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become a domestic name after the miracle that the 14 -year -old Kautuk originated in IPL 2025. Playing for Rajasthan Royals against the Titans of Gujarat in Jaipur on Monday, Vaibhav Suryavanshi slammed the 35-ball century in the youngest (14 years, 32 days). He is also the fastest Indian Centurion in the history of IPL. According to a report by The Indian Express, it was VVS Laxman, which recommended the name of Vaibhav Suryavanshi to Rahul Dravid for Rajasthan Royals.

The report revealed the role of VVS Laxman in the rise of Vaibhav Suryavanshi through the ranks. VVS Laxman, who has been associated with the then National Cricket Academy (NCA), was influenced by the Suryavanshi and selected him for the U-19 quadrilateral series against England and Bangladesh.

According to a Sportstar report, in one of the sports for India B in the series, he broke after exiting 36. “In one of the sports, Vaibhav had gone out for 36. So, he started crying in the dressing room. When Laxman saw this, he came to him and said, ‘We don’t just see runs.’ Laxman saw his ability very quickly.

Ojha also wanted him to leave Bihar as cricket does not even have a infrastructure mark.

“Bihar is not ideal for the aspiration of cricketers. Nobody cares. The BCCI has also stopped caring about it. It is becoming increasingly difficult with each passing day,” Vaibhav Suryavanshi coach Manoj Oz told this newspaper.

“As a coach, I want him to immediately leave Bihar to play for another state. I want the top Ranji teams to give him a chance, and accept it. He should play for a state where it can be nurtured and where it will be well supported.”
