Vaibhav Suryavanshi Parents Sacrifices

“I am what I am because of my parents. My mother, for the sake of my practice schedule, wakes up at 2 in the morning after going to sleep at 11, sleeping barely three hours. She then prepares meals for me. My father left his work to support me. My elder brother is taking care of his work and the household is running with great difficulty. But papa is backing me,” Vaibhav said in an interview with IPL.

“…god ensures that those who work hard never fail. The results that we are seeing and the success that I am achieving is because of my parents,” he added.

For Vaibhav, hitting the very first ball of his career was business as usual.

“It was a normal thing for me. I have played Under-19 for India and also at the domestic level, where I have hit first ball sixes. I was not under pressure to play out the first 10 balls. In my mind I was clear that if the ball comes in my radar, I will hit it,” Vaibhav said.
