IPL 2025s Young Sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi Touches PM Modis Feet, Video Goes Viral
On May 30, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met 14-year-old cricket prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his family at Patna Airport, lauding the teenager's exceptional performance in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL). Suryavanshi, hailing from Samastipur, Bihar, emerged as a breakout star for the Rajasthan Royals, capturing national attention with his fearless batting.
In his debut IPL season, Suryavanshi amassed 252 runs over seven matches, boasting an impressive strike rate of 206.55 and an average of 36. His standout performance came against the Gujarat Titans, where he scored a blistering 101* off just 38 balls, including 11 sixes and 7 fours. This innings made him the youngest player to score a century in T20 cricket at 14 years and 32 days old and marked the fastest IPL century by an Indian, achieved in just 35 balls. The 166-run opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal was the highest ever for the Rajasthan Royals.
Despite the Royals not qualifying for the playoffs, Suryavanshi's fearless approach and maturity earned praise from cricket legends and fans alike. His journey from a small village in Bihar to the IPL spotlight is a testament to his talent and determination.
During their meeting, Prime Minister Modi expressed his admiration, stating on social media: "At Patna airport, met the young cricketing sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his family. His cricketing skills are being admired all over the nation! My best wishes to him for his future endeavours."

Indonesia Open: Sindhu goes past Okuhara, Sen crashes out
Jakarta: Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu fought her way into the second round of the Indonesia Open Super 1000 badminton tournament while Lakshya Sen made an early exit after a hard-fought loss in the opening round on Tuesday. Sindhu edged past her long-time rival Nozomi Okuhara of Japan in a thrilling one-hour and 19-minute women's singles match, winning 22-20, 21-23, 21-15. Sindhu and Okuhara were locked in a hard-fought battle marked by unforced errors and multiple game and match points. In the opening game, the Indian shuttler displayed nerves of steel, saving a game point and firing timely attacking shots to edge it 22-20. The second game saw Sindhu take a narrow early lead before trailing 7-11 at the interval. She rallied back strongly and earned two match points with a powerful cross-court smash. But repeated errors allowed Okuhara to draw level at 20-all and the Japanese shuttler eventually took the game 23-21. In the deciding game, both players adopt a cautious approach, avoiding unnecessary risks. Sindhu led 11-9 at the break and then found her rhythm, stringing together a series of winners to race ahead 20-12. She earned eight match points and converted the fifth to seal the victory and advance to the round of 16. After the match, Sindhu remembered her past meetings with Okuhara in 14 years and the bond they share off the court. "14 years. 20 matches. From my longest to the shortest World Championship finals — always with her. We've shared wins, losses, and a rivalry only we understand. Keep fighting, Nozomi. The court's never quite the same without you," she wrote on X. Meanwhile, the 2021 World Championships bronze medallist Sen put up a spirited fight against world No. 1 Shi Yu Qi of China but eventually went down 11-21, 22-20, 15-21 in a tightly contested first-round men's singles match that lasted one hour and five minutes. The 23-year-old made a strong return from a back injury that had sidelined him from last week's tournament in Malaysia, showing commendable grit despite the defeat. Down 11-17 in the second game, he staged a determined fightback, saving a match point and eventually snatching the game 22-20 to force a decider. However, the momentum didn't last, as world No. 1 Shi Yu Qi regained control in the third game to close out the match. In other matches, Anupama Upadhyaya bowed out following a straight-games defeat to South Korea's Kim Ga Eun. Later in the day, HS Prannoy and the men's doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty are scheduled to take the court.
