During the ongoing IPL 2026 season, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a young star for the Rajasthan Royals (RR), showcased his playful side by stepping into the kitchen for a fun cooking session. Known for his aggressive batting style, the 15-year-old has quickly become a pivotal player for the team this season.

Record-Breaking Performance

Since his debut in the last IPL season, Sooryavanshi has made headlines by breaking numerous records, demonstrating that talent knows no age. In this season alone, he has achieved remarkable feats, including becoming the youngest player to score 400 runs in a single season, the fastest to hit 100 T20 sixes, and the first to score two centuries before turning sixteen.

A Fun Cooking Session

To relieve the stress of competitive matches, the Rajasthan Royals engaged in a light-hearted cooking activity, with Sooryavanshi taking center stage as he attempted to make 'Gol Roti.'

Despite a minor mishap where he dropped the roti on the floor while toasting it, he maintained his cheerful demeanor, insisting on being called 'MasterChef Vaibhav.'
