In a heartwarming moment during IPL 2026, Rajasthan Royals’ 15-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi got his dream fulfilled when Virat Kohli signed his Rajasthan Royals cap after RR’s six-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Guwahati.

Sooryavanshi made a very dramatic exit, batting 78 off 26 balls and hitting 8 fours and 7 sixes as Royals successfully chased down 202. Instead of the Orange Cap as the top run-scorer this season because of his explosive innings, he won the Player of the Month award.

After the game, the young batter went up to King Kohli, who happily signed the cap and wrote him a personal message: “Dear Vaibhav, congratulations. The video and photographs posted by the Rajasthan Royals rocked social media, with the fans admiring the graceful move made by the former India captain to the new talent.

The transfer has broken the hearts of different people in the cricket fraternity as an indication of the transfer of the torch to the next generation. Sooryavanshi, an idolizer of Kohli, considered it an event that he would remember forever.
