Sooryavanshi has been scoring runs consistently and at a brisk pace. He recently struck a record-tumbling 175 in the U19 World Cup final that India won under Ayush Mhatre. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had presented the youngster with a prize reward of Rs 50 Lakhs for his showing that helped the nation add to its trophy cabinet. He was presented with a Tata Curvv car on Tuesday.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Honoured With ‘Highest Civilian Award’ For Children
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was earlier, conferred with the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar (PMRBP). The young cricketer received the award from President Droupadi Murmu.
Addressing the awardees, President Murmu praised the children for inspiring the nation.
“Your achievements inspire the entire country. Every child honoured today is equally important and valued,” she said. “It is because of such gifted children that India continues to shine on the global stage.”
Covering sports for fun. Cricket in whites remains the first love—the kind that teaches patience, rewards nuance, and tells stories over five days rather than five seconds.
