🔥 ‘Please Put Nazar Na Lage!’ — Ashwin Has a Hilarious Message for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s Parents as the 15-Year-Old Continues to Break the IPL

India has a new cricket obsession. He’s 15 years old. He hits 32 sixes in a single IPL season. And he’s got R Ashwin’s entire household glued to the TV — with Ashwin’s own parents reportedly going absolutely berserk every time this kid walks out to bat.

In a now-viral video on his YouTube channel, former India spinner R Ashwin opened up about the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi craze that has taken over not just Indian cricket — but his own living room. And he had one very specific, very Indian request for the 15-year-old’s parents: please protect this kid from the evil eye. Nazar na lage. 🧿

😂 “My Mother Keeps Saying — Look at His Chubby Cheeks!”

Ashwin revealed on his YouTube channel that watching Rajasthan Royals has become a full family activity — but only because of one man. Or rather, one teenager. On his YouTube channel, Ashwin said:

“I watch every RR game with Mom and Dad. Man, I’m telling you, they are massive Vaibhav Suryavanshi fans. I’ve never seen my father admire anyone the way he admires Vaibhav. With every shot, he gets so excited. My mother keeps saying, ‘Look at his chubby cheeks!’ and ‘Look at that celebration!'”

He added: “The moment he got out, all of us at home became sad — my mother, my father. They are No. 1 fans.”

Ashwin then turned to Vaibhav’s parents with a characteristically Indian warning — protect this kid from nazar. Given how much the entire country has fallen for the Bihar teenager, it’s not just Ashwin’s family that needs the reminder. 😂

📊 Why Everyone is Obsessed — Vaibhav’s IPL 2026 Numbers Are Insane

Once you see the stats, Ashwin’s family reaction makes complete sense. At 15 years old, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is not just participating in the IPL 2026 — he is absolutely dominating it.

🌟 Who is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi? India’s Most Exciting Young Cricketer

If you’ve somehow missed the Vaibhav phenomenon, here’s a quick recap of why this 15-year-old from a small town in Bihar has the entire cricket world talking.

Born on 27 March 2011 in Samastipur, Bihar, Vaibhav began cricket training at the age of just four. Recognising his extraordinary talent, his father Sanjeev Suryavanshi enrolled him at Manish Ojha’s GenNex Cricket Academy in Patna when he was eight. Father and son used to travel 100km each way on alternate days for training — every sacrifice worth it in hindsight.

At just 12, he debuted in the Ranji Trophy for Bihar. At 13, he became the youngest player ever to be sold at an IPL auction — fetched by Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.1 crore. At 14, he became the youngest player ever to appear in an IPL match, hitting a six off the very first ball he faced. He then went on to smash a 35-ball century against Gujarat Titans — the fastest by an Indian and the second-fastest in IPL history.

Oh, and he also led India U-19 to World Cup glory in early 2026, scoring an unbeaten 175 off 80 balls in the final against England — surpassing every previous record for a World Cup final knock. He was named Player of the Tournament. Then he came back and picked up right where he left off in the IPL. At 15. 🤯

🏏 Even Legends Can’t Stop Talking About Him

Ashwin is far from the only cricketing legend who has been left speechless by Vaibhav. The list of those who’ve publicly fawned over him reads like a hall of fame.

MS Dhoni, after watching him during CSK vs RR, told the Rajasthan dressing room: “You got the baby in your team. The baby is showing the great shots like a matured player.” Vaibhav responded by touching Dhoni’s feet after the match — a moment that went viral instantly. 🙏

Virat Kohli met the youngster and personally shared batting tips, reportedly telling him to stay humble and work hard. Yusuf Pathan, whose IPL century record Vaibhav broke, wrote: “Long way to go, champ!” Even LSG’s players were caught on camera trying to steal his bat after a game, joking: “He already gets 30 bats a year!”

📚 The Kid Who Skipped Board Exams for Cricket — and Nobody is Complaining

One of the most remarkable stories around Vaibhav’s 2026 IPL season is what he gave up to be here. His school Modesty School in Samastipur confirmed that Vaibhav’s exam form was filled out and his admit card issued for the 10th board exams in February 2026 — but his father Sanjeev made the call to skip them entirely.

“Right now Vaibhav’s entire focus is on cricket,” Sanjeev Suryavanshi told the school. “He will appear for the board exams next year.” When you’re scoring 357 runs at a strike rate of 234 in the IPL at age 15 and just won the Under-19 World Cup, it’s hard to argue with that decision. 📚➡️🏏

😂 The Internet Reacts to Ashwin’s ‘Nazar’ Warning

Ashwin’s warning to Vaibhav’s parents quickly became one of the most shared cricket clips of IPL 2026. The comment section of his YouTube video was flooded with fans agreeing — and sharing their own nazar stories. Indians know the drill: when someone is this special, you keep the evil eye at bay. 🧿

Some highlights from the replies: “Ashwin uncle is all of us.” “His mom said chubby cheeks 😂😭 that’s so pure.” “I’ve never loved a cricketer this fast in my life and I’m 45.” And simply: “Bihar ka beta. 🙏🔥”

🚀 What’s Next for the Boy Who’s Already Broken Every Record?

With IPL 2026 still ongoing, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is on course to finish as one of the top run-scorers of the tournament. An India senior call-up feels like a matter of when, not if — and with the 2027 World Cup cycle beginning, selectors will have a very compelling case to fast-track the Bihar teenager into international cricket sooner than anyone expected.

For now though, one thing is clear: whether it’s Ashwin’s parents, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, or the 1.4 billion people of India — everyone has Vaibhav fever. And there’s no cure in sight. 🔥🏏
