Vaibhav Suryavanshi, just 14 years old, has become the unlikely owner of two luxury cars after a breakout run of performances on the cricket field, even though he is still too young to hold a driving licence. The left-handed opener, lauded as the 2025 IPL’s “Super Striker of the Season,” received a new white SUV from Tata Motors as a reward for scoring 252 runs at a strike rate of 206.60 — the most runs among batsmen who faced at least 100 balls in the tournament. Legally four years short of the minimum driving age, Suryavanshi can own cars but cannot drive them himself; he instead handed the new car’s keys to his mother during a ceremony in Patna.
Suryavanshi’s second luxury vehicle follows an earlier Mercedes-Benz gifted by Rajasthan Royals owner Ranjit Barthakur. That car was presented after Suryavanshi smashed a century off just 35 balls against the Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium — a knock the report calls the fastest century by an Indian in IPL history and the tournament’s second-fastest overall. His power-hitting and rapid scoring have made him one of the most talked-about teenage talents in recent domestic and franchise cricket.
At the Patna handover, an emotional Suryavanshi said he gave the keys to his mother, adding, “This is my first gift to my mother.” The gesture underlined the personal significance of his sudden rise and the family support behind it.
Beyond the IPL, Suryavanshi played a starring role in India’s Under-19 World Cup campaign that concluded on February 6. He scored an explosive century in the final and finished the tournament with 439 runs, earning the Player of the Tournament award. For this achievement, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar presented him with a cash prize of INR 50 lakh (5 million rupees).
Suryavanshi’s story highlights how exceptional young talent and high-profile tournaments can accelerate a player’s public profile and rewards — a dynamic that raises questions about fame, responsibility and youth in professional sport, especially when accolades arrive well before the legal privileges that often accompany them.
