Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Child Labour: With his hard-hitting batting, 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi is causing havoc for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League. Vaibhav has performed admirably in the games played thus far, despite his batting failure in the most recent game against the Delhi Capitals. Because of this, the Rajasthan Royals are on the verge of making the playoffs, but Vaibhav appears to be involved in a fresh scandal in the interim. In reality, a social media activist has made grave accusations against the Rajasthan Royals, saying that the team is exploiting a 15-year-old youngster for child labor and that the team should be charged with a crime. An activist from Karnataka is allegedly included in the widely shared video. He is heard in the video advising Vaibhav to concentrate on his studies and urging the Labor Commissioner to consider Vaibhav’s situation.

While his hard-hitting batting is dominating the IPL 2026, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi seems to be embroiled in a new controversy. A social media activist has leveled serious charges against the Rajasthan Royals, claiming that the team should face criminal charges for using a 15-year-old child for child labor.
