15-Year-Old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Eyes ₹12 Crore Bat Deal After IPL 2026 Heroics. If Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continues to perform as he did in IPL 2026, he could receive a bat sponsorship worth ₹12 crores per year. This would be more than 24 times what he earned as a bat sponsor last season, when that deal was valued at ₹50 lakh. The 15-year-old opener has become one of the biggest stars of IPL 2026, with Rajasthan Royals purchasing him for ₹1.1 crore at the IPL auction when he was just 13 years old.
He’s now proven to be worth that investment and has produced an incredible season so far. Sooryavanshi is leading the IPL 2026 run-scoring charts. The left-handed batsman has scored a total of 776 runs in 16 innings while showing no fear when taking on the bowlers using aggressive strokes. So far this season, he has also set one of the biggest records for IPL 2026 by hitting 65 sixes, the most ever by any player in IPL 2026. Earlier this season, he scored the second-fastest century in IPL history.
