‘Punjabi nahi, Bhojpuri lagega’: 14-year-old hero Vaibhav Sooryavanshi turns dressing room into a dance floor after U-19 World Cup win

In the now-viral video, a delighted Sooryavanshi can be heard joking, “Punjabi gana nahi samajh mein aa rha hai. Bhojpuri lagega.” (I can’t understand the Punjabi song. Let’s play Bhojpuri instead.)

What followed was a burst of carefree celebration, with the Indian players dancing enthusiastically to a Bhojpuri song, clearly soaking in the moment after weeks of intense cricket. The visuals reflected a team that played bold, fearless cricket and celebrated success with the same abandon.

As the brief 30-second clip neared its end, Sooryavanshi laughed and said, “Aaj ke liye bohot dance ho gaya.” (That’s enough dancing for today.)

The video was shared widely across social media, with several popular accounts reposting it. IPL side Rajasthan Royals, whom Sooryavanshi is already associated with, also shared the clip, captioning it, “Ek Bihari, sab pe bhaari.” (One Bihari, heavier than everyone else.)

Fans quickly flooded the comments section with reactions. One user wrote, “Imagine Ishan & Vaibhav grooving to Bhojpuri songs in the Indian dressing room.” Another commented, “Bihari babu ne sab ko izzat aur samman dilaya hai.” (This Bihari boy has brought respect and honour to everyone.)

A third user added, “I ain’t doing bihari vs punjabi here, but u gotta admit bihari songs give u that laugh and enjoyment greater than punjabi ones (obviously removing those vulgar songs).” Meanwhile, another fan remarked, “Pawan Singh will be feeling proud.”

Beyond the celebrations, Sooryavanshi’s performances on the field were nothing short of extraordinary. The 14-year-old left-hander finished the tournament as India’s top run-scorer, amassing 439 runs in seven matches at an average of 62.71 and a strike rate of 169.49, including one century and three fifties.

His knock in the final etched his name into the record books. Sooryavanshi smashed the highest individual score ever in a U19 World Cup final, powering India to a massive 411 for nine. He reached his century in just 55 balls, the second-fastest hundred in U19 World Cup history and the quickest ever in a final. His fearless innings sealed India’s dominance and earned him both Player of the Match and Player of the Tournament honours, capping off a dream campaign in unforgettable style.
