Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who recently played a pivotal role in the nation’s Under-19 cricket World Cup triumph earlier this month, will not sit for his Class 10 board examinations this year. 

Speculation had been rife over whether the 14-year-old would be able to appear for the crucial exams, but his commitments on the cricket field have ultimately taken precedence.

However, his coach Manish Ojha has confirmed that the youngster would be skipping the examinations in order to focus on preparations for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League. 

Sooryavanshi is expected to play a key role for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026 after a remarkable debut in 2025 and has already joined the franchise’s pre-season camp.

“He won’t be giving the Class X exams. He is currently in Nagpur preparing for the upcoming IPL. He has already joined Rajasthan Royals for a pre-season camp,” Ojha said.
