Patna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi met IPL sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his family at Patna airport on Friday. The PM interacted with the cricketer and his parents before leaving the venue.
PM Modi is on a two-day visit to Bihar.
Sharing the glimpses of the meeting on his X account, PM Modi wrote, "At Patna airport, met the young cricketing sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his family. His cricketing skills are being admired all over the nation! My best wishes to him for his future endeavours."
Suryavanshi made the headlines after becoming the youngest centurion in the IPL at just 14. He was roped in by the Rajasthan Royals for Rs 1.1 crore in last year's auction. In seven matches, the teenager has amassed 252 runs, including a hundred and a half-century.
His performances led to his inclusion in India's U19 squad for the upcoming tour of England, scheduled from June 24 to July 23. The tour comprises a 50-over warm-up match, followed by a five-match Youth One-Day series and two Multi-Day matches against England U19. Earlier, PM Modi lauded Suryavanshi for his stellar performance in the IPL 2025 season during the inauguration of the Khelo India Youth Games this month. (IANS)
