Sooryavanshi family's cricket magic continues with brother's big knock
Indian batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had reason to celebrate away from his own exploits, after his younger brother Ashirvad delivered another standout batting performance.
Currently with the Indian squad ahead of the upcoming series against Ireland, Vaibhav took to Instagram to share his pride over Ashirvad's latest century, and the fans couldn't stop praising the cricketing talent clearly running through the family.
The scorecard shared by Vaibhav revealed that Ashirvad smashed 168 runs off just 119 balls. During the innings, he hit 19 boundaries and six maximums.

This wasn't a one-off either. Just weeks earlier, the 10-year-old had made headlines for registering another century in a local practice fixture held in Samastipur. Playing for Cricket Academy Tajpur at the time, Ashirvad compiled 103 runs off 87 deliveries, an innings featuring 20 fours and a six, before eventually being dismissed by Prashant Raj.

Vaibhav's Instagram story:
Three Sooryavanshi brothers, one shared cricketing fire
Vaibhav sits as the middle child among three brothers, with Ujjwal Sooryavanshi being the eldest and Ashirvad the youngest of the trio.
While Vaibhav built his reputation as a left-handed prodigy who lit up IPL 2026 on his way to winning the Orange Cap, Ashirvad operates quite differently, batting right-handed at the top of the order while also bowling right-arm medium pace.

Despite using opposite hands, the brothers share an almost identical fearless, attacking mindset, something both credit to growing up practising on the very same backyard pitches back home in Bihar.
His father, Sanjeev Sooryavanshi, took to Facebook after the earlier century to express his happiness.
Sanjeev wrote, “My younger son Ashirvad Suryavanshi has scored his first century in a practice match today. I request everyone to continue showering him with love and blessings."
Ashirvad appears to be following closely in his elder brother's footsteps, with his father firmly backing him to reach the top of the sport in the future.
