WATCH: Vaibhav Suryavanshi wins MS Dhoni's bat in viral Rajasthan Royals video

The T20 cricket fest in India is already on with the fans thronging to the stadiums to watch their favourite cricket stars be it the former legends or the women's cricket. While the coveted Women's Premier League (WPL 2025) is already entertaining the fans, the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) is already knocking on the door.

Hence, several IPL franchises have started their training with some players in the form of a preparatory camp amidst the ongoing ICC mega cricket event, Champions Trophy 2025. In the same vein, one of the most popular franchises Rajasthan Royals (RR), started their preparations with some young budding players who were bought during the IPL mega auctions. Notably, the auction was held in the Middle East for the first time in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. While several records were made during the intense bidding battles, one of the most unique player battles stood out. It was the bidding for the youngest player bought in the league's history in the form of Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Now in the latest video posted by Royals, Suryavanshi was spotted having an entertaining competition with 'Romi' sir with the bat and the ball. While Romi found it tough to face Suryavanshi's spin bowling, the latter was hitting Romi's balls out of the park for fun. Notably, the duo were competing for a bat that belonged to none other than the former India captain and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend, MS Dhoni. Eventually, the teen prodigy managed to get his hands on his much cherished prize and since then the video has been going viral in the social media domain.
