“I would like to thank the head coach Rahul Dravid and the rest of the support staff for the improvement of the Vaibhav game. He himself worked very hard on his game and that is a result.
“I would also like to thank the bihar Rakesh Tiwary cricket chief for giving Vaibhav the opportunity to represent the state at the level of such a young age,” added Sanjiv.
The Royals invested in the talent of Suryavanshi by spending Rs 1.10 crosses at the mega auction last year, almost four times its basic price of RS 30 Lakh.
He has already played for the U-19 India and made his first class debut against Mumbai in January 2024.
The Royals had called Suryavanshi for tests in Nagpur where the shot coach of the franchise Vikram Rathour was instantly impressed by the talent of the adolescent.
In a recent interview with IPLT20, the gifted left -hander spoke of the difficulties that his family kissed for him to continue his cricket dream.
“I am what I am because of my parents. My father left his work to support me. My older brother takes care of his work and the cleaning runs with great difficulty. But Papa supports me,” said Suryavansi.
