‘MS Dhoni said You Got the Baby’: Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Conversations with Dhoni, Kohli Revealed

Rajasthan Royals’ teenage sensation, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, is taking the IPL by storm. Just days after smashing a record-breaking 35-ball century against Gujarat Titans, his behind-the-scenes conversations with cricket legends MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli have come to light. These interactions offer a fascinating glimpse into the 14-year-old’s rapid rise and the support he’s receiving from India’s biggest stars.

Dhoni’s Reaction: “You Got the Baby”

During Rajasthan Royals’ earlier match against Chennai Super Kings in Guwahati, Vaibhav met MS Dhoni. The CSK legend couldn’t hide his admiration. Rajasthan Royals’ team manager Romi Bhinder revealed the exchange while speaking with Sports Today. “Dhoni praised him a lot,” Bhinder shared. “He said, ‘Okay, you got the baby in your team. The baby is showing great shots like a matured player.’”

Vaibhav’s 101 off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans didn’t just rescue RR’s campaign—it made him the youngest centurion in IPL history. The teen’s performance stunned fans and experts alike. But behind the magic was a calm, grounded mindset—fueled by inspiration from cricket’s greats.

Kohli’s Advice: Stay Grounded, Keep Working

Suryavanshi also had a brief but memorable chat with Virat Kohli when Rajasthan faced Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Bhinder revealed that Kohli offered simple yet powerful advice: “Virat told him how to stay grounded and work hard.” The young batter idolizes Kohli, making the interaction even more meaningful. That short conversation left a lasting impact.

Next, Vaibhav will meet Dhoni again on May 12 when RR plays CSK in Chennai. That clash now carries more than just playoff implications—it’s a reunion of cricketing generations.

Reactions Pour In as Records Fall

Yusuf Pathan praised Vaibhav’s knock, calling it “even more special” than his own. In contrast, Gujarat skipper Shubman Gill downplayed the feat, terming it “just a lucky day.” His comment didn’t sit well with many. Ajay Jadeja strongly opposed Gill’s remark on-air, saying Vaibhav’s brilliance had nothing to do with luck.

As this IPL unfolds, one thing is clear—Vaibhav Suryavanshi isn’t just a viral story. He’s a serious contender with big dreams. “I just want to work hard and play for India,” he said post-match.

With guidance from Dhoni, encouragement from Kohli, and the cricketing world watching, his journey has only just begun.
