India's newest cricketing sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi described receiving his maiden India jersey as the fulfilment of a lifelong dream, capping a remarkable rise that has turned the 15-year-old into one of the most talked-about talents in world cricket.
In a video shared by the BCCI on X, the teenage batting prodigy struggled to put his emotions into words as he reflected on the journey from practising at local grounds to earning a place in the national setup.
“I mean, words cannot explain it. The reason I picked up a bat from day one and went to the cricket ground for practice, today that dream was fulfilled, and the biggest step in that journey was completed today. I truly cannot put this feeling into words,” Sooryavanshi said.

The youngster revealed that the moment he first saw the India jersey was surreal.
“It felt just like a dream. The moment I saw that T-shirt, I couldn't stop smiling. Sometimes, something happens that you never even imagined could happen, and when it finally does, you don't know how to react. That was exactly how I felt,” he added.
