IPL 2026: Virat Kohli signs Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s cap, leaves heartfelt message It is difficult to not be completely awestruck while looking at Vaibhav Suryavanshi go about his business.
On Friday, he struck a 15-ball half-century against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati, equalling his own record for the joint second-fastest fifty, which he had scored against Chennai Super Kings earlier this season.
Led by the teenage prodigy’s innings, Rajasthan put up 97 runs in the first six, the side’s best haul in the PowerPlay.
Suryavanshi eventually perished on 78 off 26 balls, holing out to long-on while trying to pick another boundary off Krunal Pandya. But the knock was enough to take him to the top of the Orange Cap standings, at 200 runs from just four innings.
However, that perhaps wasn’t the most valuable cap in his possession last night. After the game, which the Royals won by six wickets, former India skipper Virat Kohli was seen interacting with Suryavanshi.
Not just that, it was later revealed that the batting great, in fact, ended up signing Suryavanshi’s cap with a note that read: “Dear Vaibhav, well done.”
A priceless piece of memorabilia that Vaibhav would perhaps choose to treasure his entire life.
