10-Year-Old Ashirvad Sooryavanshi Scores Maiden Century, Father Sends Strong Message to IPL Teams
Samastipur, Bihar: In a heartwarming display of emerging talent from the cricket-crazy Sooryavanshi family, 10-year-old Ashirvad Sooryavanshi smashed his maiden century, further cementing the family’s reputation as a budding cricketing dynasty.
The young prodigy, younger brother of rising star Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, achieved the milestone on June 12, 2026, during a local practice-cum-tournament match in Tajpur, Samastipur. Batting as an opener for Cricket Academy Tajpur, Ashirvad scored a fluent 103 runs off just 87 balls. His innings was decorated with 20 boundaries and 1 six, showcasing an aggressive approach similar to his elder brother’s explosive style. He reached his hundred and celebrated by removing his helmet in delight.
Ashirvad’s knock helped his team post a strong total of 234/4 in 29.5 overs, with teammate Shivam Raj contributing 52 runs.
Proud Family Moment
The news quickly spread on social media, with elder brother Vaibhav Sooryavanshi sharing the scorecard on Instagram and posting a proud message: “Congratulations Aashirwad.” Vaibhav, who recently lit up IPL 2026 with record-breaking performances for Rajasthan Royals and earned a senior India T20I call-up, has been a major inspiration for the youngster.
Another elder brother, Ujjwal Sooryavanshi, also shared the achievement widely, drawing attention from cricket fans across the country.
Father’s Bold Hint to IPL Franchises
The family’s patriarch, Sanjeev Sooryavanshi — a former cricketer-turned-coach who famously sold ancestral farmland to support Vaibhav’s training — expressed immense pride in Ashirvad’s performance. In a viral comment that has caught the eye of many, Sanjeev hinted at the bright future ahead, saying, “Isse bhi 2 saal me taiyaar kr denge” (We’ll prepare him too in 2 years).
Known for his dedication to nurturing talent, Sanjeev has been hands-on with both sons’ development. He noted that while Vaibhav started serious training at age 4, Ashirvad is following a similar path with the same right-handed aggressive batting style, though the younger one is a bit more pampered at home.
The Sooryavanshi Cricket Legacy
The Sooryavanshi family from Tajpur, Samastipur, Bihar, is fast becoming a symbol of grassroots cricket success in India. Vaibhav’s meteoric rise — from age-group cricket to IPL Orange Cap contender and India A duties — has already inspired thousands. Now, Ashirvad’s century at such a tender age suggests the family could produce yet another national-level talent in the near future.
Cricket enthusiasts are excited to follow the journey of these brothers. With their father’s unwavering support and the boys’ natural talent, the Sooryavanshi name is likely to echo in Indian cricket for years to come.
This latest achievement is not just a personal triumph for young Ashirvad but also a reminder of how dedication and family backing can help unearth gems from small towns across India.
