Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Secret Trick: The Sky Gaze That Led to IPL Stardom

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old cricket prodigy, has become the talk of the town after his impressive performance in IPL 2025. However, his success isn't just about raw talent; it’s also about a unique trick that he follows before every match. According to his coach, Manish Ojha, Vaibhav has a special habit that resembles the rituals of cricket legends like Sachin Tendulkar.

The Trick: Looking Up at the Sun Vaibhav’s "trick" involves a simple yet significant gesture — he looks up at the sky and admires the sun. This has been his practice ever since he started playing. Whenever he steps onto the field, he takes a moment to gaze at the sun, and even after playing shots, he repeats the ritual. Interestingly, during night matches in the IPL, when the sun is no longer visible, Vaibhav continues this habit by looking upwards as part of his ritual.

The Impact of the Trick in IPL 2025 Vaibhav’s trick appears to have had a profound effect, especially in the ongoing IPL 2025 season. After his debut in IPL 2025, he quickly became a sensation. He scored a century in just his third innings, making him the fastest Indian to do so in IPL history. His remarkable feat also made him the youngest batsman to score a century in T20 cricket, completing the milestone in only 35 balls. Additionally, he has the highest strike rate in IPL 2025 and has scored 151 runs at an average of 50.33 in his first three innings.

A Mixture of Luck, Hard Work, and 'Vaibhav' Vaibhav's rise to fame came after Sanju Samson's injury, giving him a golden opportunity. He grabbed the chance with both hands, showcasing a blend of luck, hard work, and skill. His debut innings saw him scoring 34 runs off 20 balls, and while his second innings wasn't as notable, the third one made history.
