A video shared by Rajasthan Royals showed teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi taking a stunning shot from a helicopter during a net session in Jaipur. The clip quickly went viral on social media.
In IPL 2026, 15-year-old prodigy Sooryavanshi continues to shine as one of the most notable RR performers. After becoming the youngest debutant and centurion in IPL history in 2025, he has continued his ultra-aggressive approach this season. He recently became the fastest player to reach 500 IPL runs (by balls faced), achieving the milestone in just 227 deliveries, breaking the previous record of 260 balls held by Glenn Maxwell.
However, the youngster faced a rare setback in his most recent outing against Lucknow Super Giants on April 22, where he was dismissed for just 8 runs. Notably, he also played his first maiden in the IPL, bowled by Mohsin Khan.
Rajasthan Royals shared a video of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s net session and the franchise added a bold caption to the post that read, “Trust a Bihari to shoot a helicopter”, which attracted widespread attention and reactions from fans.
The helicopter shot, popularized by MS Dhoni, who hails from Jharkhand (formerly part of Bihar), has become one of the most iconic shots in cricket. The title was seen as a fun nod to that legacy, linking Sooryavanshi’s roots to Dhoni’s signature photo.Advertisement
