Vaibhav Suryavanshi touches MS Dhoni’s feet, the IPL 2025 ends as Rajasthan Royals only as positive
Vaibhav Suryavanshi was one of the very few bright places for RR in a disappointing IPL 2025 season.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to make giant strides in what has been a dream start. On Tuesday, the 14-year-old smashed a match-winning half-century in the CSK vs RR clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Suryavanshi, after the game, met with CSK captain and legend MS Dhoni, taking his blessings.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi showed maturity beyond his years with a match-winning half-century in Delhi. Chasing a 188 to win, the 14-year-old stitched two vital partnerships with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson to see his team over the line. After the game, Vaibhav made the most of his opportunity to meet MS Dhoni. Suryavanshi was just 5 days old when MS led India to a World Cup win in 2011 in Mumbai.
Now, the teenager had the opportunity to greet the Indian legend, and he rightfully sought his blessings. After an embrace, Suryavanshi proceeded to touch the CSK captain’s feet as a mark of respect.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi: RR’s sole bright spot in 2025
Rajasthan Royals did not have the best of campaigns, ending the IPL 2025 season with just 4 wins. However, one of their big positives was the signing of Vaibhav Suryavanshi. A lot of eyebrows were raised when the Royals paid 1.2 crore for the 14-year-old. However, the left-hander has since defied those doubts with a show of brute hitting. In just 7 games, the teenage sensation has 252 runs, striking at 206.55. He’s hit 24 sixes in the 101 balls he’s faced.
He broke the record for the fastest century by an Indian, with a 35-ball effort against the Gujarat Titans. On Tuesday, he played a rather measured knock, scoring 57 off 33 balls with four boundaries and four sixes. He has the best strike rate of the season for any batter with more than 100 runs this season.
