When I was 13, I was fighting with my sister over one spoon of Maggi and the TV remote. What a guy he is! ? #Vaibhavsuryavanshi pic.twitter.com/FpBgsGLUFz
The 2011-born began to demonstrate his cricketing ability at the age of four. Vaibhav's father, Sanjeev, observed his enthusiasm and decided to create a little play area for him in the house's backyard.
At the age of nine, Vaibhav's father enrolled him at a cricket academy in the nearby town of Samastipur. People around him quickly realized that Vaibhav was much ahead of his age in terms of cricketing ability.
Vaibhav was only 12 years old when he represented Bihar in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy, scoring over 400 runs in five matches. It didn't take him long to advance through the ranks of Bahar Cricket, turning heads wherever he went.
Vaibhav, who debuted for Bihar at the juvenile age of 12, has quickly established himself in the cricketing world. His most recent performance, a scorching 58-ball century against the Australian U-19 squad in a four-day match in Chennai, cemented his status as a rising star.
