What had happened was Suryavanshi was attached with a GoPro on his helmet as he walked into the nets with five crew members positioned at the opposite non-striker’s end for recording purposes. However, as the bowler completed his delivery, Vaibhav smacked one straight as the ball hurled towards the crew members. In an attempt to dodge the missile-like shot, the cameraman and others had to dive for cover, while some even tumbled as they lost balance. Fortunately, no one got hit and narrowly avoided getting seriously injured.
Immediately after hitting the shot, a visibly shaken Suryavanshi rushed to the members and apologised.

At just 14, Vaibhav Suryavanshi made headlines after the Rajasthan Royals acquired him for an astounding INR 1.1 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction, making him the youngest player ever bought in IPL history. The teenage sensation lived up to the hype by delivering a record-breaking century against the Gujarat Titans, becoming the youngest cricketer to achieve this milestone in the tournament.
His blistering innings also set two more records – the fastest IPL century by an Indian batter and the second-fastest overall, as he reached his maiden hundred in just 35 balls. The youngster also won the Super Striker of the Season award.
Playing his maiden IPL season, Suryavanshi scored 252 runs in seven matches at an impressive average of 36 and a fiery strike rate of 206.55.
Given his exploits from last season, RR have clearly managed to unearth a rare talent and it is highly unlikely that they will release him ahead of the IPL 2026 auction. Also, with talks of Sanju Samson leaving the franchise, Suryavanshi’s role will become even more crucial at the top of the Royals batting order.
