Rajasthan Royals’ teen sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to leave the cricketing world in awe. The 14-year-old caught the attention of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli even before his sensational century against the Gujarat Titans. Recently, in a conversation with Sports Today, RR team manager Romi Bhinder revealed the inside story behind star-studded interactions. Referring to the 14-year-old's interaction with MS Dhoni at Guwahati before RR vs CSK, Bhinder said: “MS Dhoni also praised him a lot, he said, ‘ok, you got the baby in your team. The baby is showing great shots like a mature player." He added that the young left-hander will meet Dhoni again during the return fixture between RR and CSK at Chennai. Bhinder also highlighted the similarities between the two players, despite the massive age gap. “But I can see similar traits in both men. Both are calm and cool, but still play aggressive cricketing shots. So there are a few similarities,” he added. The youngster also had a brief but meaningful conversation with former RCB captain Virat Kohli, another player he deeply admires. According to Bhinder, Kohli offered advice that went beyond the game itself. “Vaibhav likes Virat Kohli a lot. They met and shared a couple of tips. Virat also told him how to be grounded and how to stay humble and work hard,” he said.

Bhinder recalled how an emotional Dravid, currently in a wheelchair due to injury, stood up and applauded the historic feat. “Obviously, it's a great pleasure for a great coach because he picked up Vaibhav in the auction and showed great belief… Rahul bhai hugged him and wished him luck, and we need many more like him,” Bhinder shared. Suryavanshi’s hundred helped RR pull off a remarkable chase against Gujarat Titans and kept their IPL 2025 campaign alive. With four league games to go, the Royals will be hoping the ‘baby’ continues to deliver big performances.
