Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the new sensation of Indian cricket and famously known as ‘Baby Boss’, a 15-year-old young batsman, has become the talk of the entire cricket world. Now big maestros of the world are reciting ballads in praise of this player who came from a small village in Bihar and hit the sixes of the world’s great bowlers on the stage of IPL (IPL 2026).

In this series, former Australian cricketer and head coach of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Justin Langer has made such a revelation about Vaibhav Suryavanshi, which has created a stir on social media. Saluting the young player’s talent, Langer requested a selfie with him and said that this was only the second time in his entire life that he had requested a photo from a player himself.

Justin Langer wrote an emotional post on LinkedIn

After the exciting match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Justin Langer was impressed by Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s batting and took a memorable selfie with him. After this he shared a very special post on LinkedIn and wrote:

Justin Langer wrote: “Last week I did something I’ve only done for the second time in my entire life. I asked another player to take a selfie with me. A few years ago, I first made such a request to my childhood hero Stephen Michael of the Australian Football League (AFL).”

15 year old boy beat me in every corner of the field: Langer

Langer further wrote, “And now for the second time I said this to a 15-year-old boy from a village in Bihar. Vaibhav Suryavanshi brutally thrashed my team Lucknow Super Giants in every corner of the field. He is the youngest century in the history of men’s T20 cricket. He is only 15 years old!”

Chris Gayle’s 14 year old ‘maha-record’ demolished

When Justin Langer wrote this post, Vaibhav Suryavanshi had 53 sixes in his name this season. But immediately after that, in the eliminator match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Vaibhav did what no one had been able to do till date in the history of T20 cricket:

Wreaked havoc in the eliminator: Vaibhav during his stormy batting in the knockout match against Hyderabad. 12 Skyscraper Sixes Gave roots.
Chris Gayle’s record broken: After this match, Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s name in this only season of IPL 2026 Total 65 sixes Have been registered.
Become number-1: He has completely demolished the 14-year-old historical record of ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle (Chris Gayle had hit 59 sixes in IPL 2012). Now Vaibhav has become the batsman in the world to hit the most number of sixes in any single T20 tournament or IPL season.

Youngest centurion of T20 cricket

Seeing this post of Justin Langer and Vaibhav’s recent performance, cricket experts believe that this 15 year old boy has the full capability to rule world cricket in the future. For Langer, this photo is not just a selfie, but a priceless memory of the early days of one of the greatest players of the future.
