US EditionVaibhav Suryavanshi Receives PM Rashtriya Bal Puraskar, to Miss Rest of Vijay Hazare Trophy
- On December 26, 2025, Vaibhav Suryavanshi was conferred the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar by Droupadi Murmu, President of India, at Rashtrapati Bhavan, causing him to miss Bihar's Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Manipur and the rest of the tournament.
- The honour reflects recent form, as Vaibhav Suryavanshi produced a 95-ball 171 in the U-19 Asia Cup earlier this month and set the fastest 150 in men's List A cricket in 59 deliveries.
- In the Plate League fixture at Ranchi, Suryavanshi scored 190 off 84 balls with 16 fours and 15 sixes, reaching his maiden hundred off 36 balls in only his seventh List A game.
- Following the ceremony, Suryavanshi will join a conditioning camp in Bengaluru and depart on December 30 to link up with the India Under-19 squad for the upcoming World Cup.
- Beyond the domestic gap, Suryavanshi's recognition follows a breakthrough IPL season with Rajasthan Royals and strong age-group tours earlier this year, but his absence from Bihar's Manipur match raised eyebrows after scoring 190 runs.
