PM Modi Meets Cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi And His Family At Patna Airport: See Pics

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday met young cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his family before returning from his Bihar visit. Viabhav Suryavanshi recently made headlines when he struck a blitzkrieg ton in the IPL. The 14-year-old cricketer bagged the record for scoring the fastest century by an Indian in the game against Gujarat Titans. He completed his century in just 35 balls.

Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Vaibhav and his family at Patna airport and praised him for showcasing a master class.

The Prime Minister took to his X profile to share images of this meeting, expressing his admiration for Vaibhav's talent. "At Patna airport, met the young cricketing sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his family. His cricketing skills are being admired all over the nation! My best wishes to him for his future endeavours," Modi captioned the shared photos. This gesture highlights the Prime Minister's support for emerging sports talents across the country.

The Prime Minister's acknowledgment of Vaibhav Suryavanshi's achievements came after he had previously lauded the young cricketer's performance during his video address at the inauguration of the Khelo India Youth Games in Bihar. Modi had remarked, "I have seen in the IPL, the son of Bihar, Vaibhav Suryavanshi's spectacular performance. At such a young age, Vaibhav has set such a great record. There is a lot of hard work behind Vaibhav's performance." This recognition from the Prime Minister not only underscores the significance of Vaibhav's milestone but also serves as an inspiration for young athletes across the nation.
