14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi made a stellar debut at the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League. Rajasthan Royals’ coach, Rahul Dravid, is all praises for the budding talent and has
high hopes with him. In a post-match press conference, he spoke of the young talents of the team. “We’ve seen some abilities. Even today, the batting that Jaiswal did, Vaibhav did, Dhruv
Jurel did. There’s a lot of Sanju, Riyan today. We have a lot of young, good Indian batsmen. They’ll be even better in a year.”
He added, “Vaibhav (Suryavanshi) will play a lot of cricket like India U19. Riyan Parag will also play a lot of cricket. So, I think all these players will play a lot of cricket for India
throughout the year — tough cricket, international cricket. So, hopefully, when they come back here next year, they will be more experienced. They are already very talented players.”
On the other hand, Preity Zinta is currently working on her comeback following a hiatus from films. She will make her grand return with Rajkumar Santoshi’s directorial ‘Lahore 1947’ opposite
Sunny Deol. Aamir Khan is bankrolling the slated title.
