India already knows what a Sooryavanshi with a bat can do.
Now, a second member of the family is making that case with remarkable force. Ashirvad Sooryavanshi, the youngest brother of cricket sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, has been turning heads across Bihar's cricket circuit with aggressive, boundary-laden innings that are drawing attention far beyond local matches. At just 10 years old, he is no longer a footnote to his brother's story.
Ashirvad is the youngest of three brothers in the Sooryavanshi family. Vaibhav is the middle sibling, with Ujjwal being the eldest and Ashirvad the youngest. Like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ashirvad is known for an aggressive batting style and is already undergoing structured cricket training.
Ashirvad hammered 168 runs from just 119 deliveries, hitting 19 fours and six sixes in a dominant knock that immediately caught attention on social media and strengthened his reputation in Bihar's cricket circuit.
Not at all. This century came just days after Ashirvad made headlines for scoring a hundred in a local practice match in Samastipur. Representing Cricket Academy Tajpur, he had scored 103 runs off 87 balls at a strike rate of over 118 before being dismissed by Prashant Raj.

Vaibhav, who was travelling with the Indian squad ahead of the Ireland series, shared an Instagram story applauding Ashirvad's century, as per Times of India. The post went viral among cricket fans, with many praising the talent emerging from the Sooryavanshi family.
Father Sanjeev Sooryavanshi expressed happiness after Ashirvad's maiden century and revealed his ambition to help the youngster develop into a top-quality cricketer, much like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
It is far too early to predict, but the signs are difficult to ignore. With structured training underway, family support, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's example to draw from, Ashirvad's journey is already attracting attention well beyond local cricket circles.
