Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi played a light-hearted prank on two young fans at an airport, telling them he charges money for photographs. The 15-year-old, who has been making headlines in IPL 2026, continues to stay in the spotlight both on and off the field.
Rajasthan Royals shared the video on their social media platforms, showing Sooryavanshi having some fun with two children who approached him for a picture. In the clip, the fans asked for a photo, but Sooryavanshi responded with a straight face, saying, "Brother, I charge money for taking photos. I'm serious." The kids were taken aback but later returned with Rs 200 to get clicked with him. Sooryavanshi then revealed the prank and posed for several pictures with them.
Sooryavanshi's IPL Performance
In Rajasthan Royals' recent match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Sooryavanshi scored his second IPL hundred in just 36 balls, making it the third-fastest century in IPL history. His explosive batting has also caught the attention of SRH captain Pat Cummins, who called him his new favorite player. "He hits the ball so hard, it's great to watch. It's good fun," Cummins said. "You have to be right on the money as a bowler. If you are not, it's going a long way. It's impressive."
Sooryavanshi has scored 357 runs in eight matches this season at an average of 44.63 and a strike rate of 234.87. He has also hit 31 boundaries and 32 sixes in IPL 2026. Rajasthan Royals will play next against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur on April 28.
