This is actually so nice to see after that thrilling IPL 2026 final . Virat Kohli taking time to talk with young star Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is just pure class.
So RCB won their second straight IPL title against Gujarat Titans at Narendra Modi Stadium . And right after that big win,Kohli went to Sooryavanshi and gave him some really important advice. Video of this chat went viral everywhere .
And what he said was simple but so powerful ah.
He basically told Sooryavanshi to ignore all the outside noise and just believe in himself and his hard work . "You have to keep going higher from here. Whatever you’ve achieved is the result of your hard work and belief. Just focus on your batting and yourself," Kohli said.
And honestly,this is kind of guidance that can make or break young player's career .
You have to remember,Sooryavanshi had an absolutely insane season . The pressure on him is already huge.
Few things standing out clearly from his performance:
- He was leading run-scorer with 776 runs,winning Orange Cap.
- Kohli has been like a mentor to him all season,not just in final .
- Sooryavanshi won five awards,including Most Valuable Player and Emerging Player .
But the numbers are even crazier when you look closer . He had strike rate of 237.31 and hit 72 sixes throughout tournament . That is not normal.
And this isn't first time Kohli has shown support . Earlier in the season,he gave Sooryavanshi an autograph and even signed his cap after one match against RCB . It shows a real connection building between them.
This whole thing just shows how important mentorship is in sports . Having legend like Kohli in your corner,guiding you… that’s priceless for a young talent .
tbh,Sooryavanshi has all the talent and now he has the best possible guidance too . But now the real test begins,handling that pressure year after year…
