Rajasthan Royals (RR) opening batter Vaibhav Suryavasnhi's stocks are soaring high each passing day. After impressing in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season, the southpaw is also scoring runs in the ongoing India U-19 tour to England. The teenage batter, whose fearless attitude has resonated with all, however, does not consider MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma as his cricketing idols.
The RR opener has named Shubman Gill as his role model and inspiration. Vaibhav was also spotted in the stands in Edgbaston when the India captain scored a sparkling 269 runs. The southpaw says he was always fond of Gill's immense talent and skill.
"I am feeling very good. This is my first Test in England, and I am seeing how the game is going. We all came to watch the match. We got a lot of inspiration. Shubman Gill is a role model for us. Everyone’s dream is to play red-ball cricket for their country,” said Suryavanshi in a video shared by the BCCI.
