<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi\u2019s sporting success is a witness to all. The young cricketer has become the first player in IPL history to win five major individual awards in a single season. While his scorecard is what the world sees, behind the Baby Boss\u2019 recording-breaking hits are the many sacrifices his family, especially his father, made.<\/p>\n The young cricketer once recalled his practice days with his father. \u201cAll this is because of my father. Since childhood, he has made me practise so much that if I do not practise even for a day, it feels like my life has slowed down a bit,\u201d he said to JioStar. Sooryavanshi\u2019s gratitude towards his father is heard aloud in his words. He acknowledges his father\u2019s and family\u2019s role in shaping his journey.<\/p>\n 26 May 2026 | 14:25<\/p>\n Image courtesy: Instagram\/@vaibhav_sooryavanshi09 and Bihar Tak<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n His father\u2019s words also highlight the discipline and routine him and his son followed. In a 2024 interview with Bihar Tak, Sanjeev Sooryavanshi revealed that even during the COVID-19 lockdown, he made sure his son continued practising. Whether it was under the scorching sun, during heavy rains, or within the confines of their home, the focus remained the same. \u201cVo chahta tha ki khilaaein toh hum khilaate the,\u201d his father said at the time.\u201cSangharsh hum kiye, mehnat vo bohot kiya\u201d (\u201cI struggled, but he did the hardwork\u201d), said Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s father, who himself was an aspiring cricketer once. Reflecting on his role in Vaibhav’s journey, he added, “Hum toh papa hain, duniya ke sab papa apne beta ke liye sochte hain ki jo khoob achha padh likh ke beta collector bane\u2026 khelne wala India ke liye khele\u2026 Hamara bhi vahi chah tha,\u201d he said, noting that like every parent, he had always dreamed of seeing his child achieve something meaningful in life.<\/p>\n\u201cAll this is because of my father\u201d
