The 2025-26 Ranji Trophy match between Bihar and Meghalaya was underway at the Moin-ul-Haq Stadium in Patna. A scene unfolded that is setting social media ablaze.
Fourteen-year-old batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi displayed his Virat Kohli-like fire and confronted the opposing team’s players.
It was during the live match that Vaibhav expressed his anger in Kohli’s impersonation, and the situation escalated quickly.
Vaibhav made a splash as soon as he entered the match. He is a left-handed opener, and this time too, he scored 93 runs off 67 balls.
With just seven more runs, he would have scored his first first-class century. However, the first two days were washed out due to rain, allowing Bihar to bat on the final day of the match.
Meghalaya declared at 408 for 7, with Ajay Duhan scoring 129 and Swastik Chettri scoring 94. Akash Chaudhary also played an innings of 60 runs.
Bihar was restricted to 156/4, and the match ended in a draw. But Vaibhav’s half-century off 33 balls was enjoyed by everyone.
Vaibhav’s Kohli-style confrontation
Now let’s return to that viral moment. Vaibhav was batting when he got into an argument with Meghalaya wicketkeeper Arpit Bhatewara and some bowlers. Just like Virat, Vaibhav exchanged intense words.
The video clearly shows Vaibhav was furious, but the umpire intervened and calmed the situation. Vaibhav’s batting partner persuaded him, and he returned to the crease.
People are saying, “This is a little Virat!” Kohli sir maintained such pressure throughout his career, challenging his opponents. Vaibhav did the same.
Vaibhav’s Rocket-like Rise
Vaibhav’s story is amazing. Last year, he scored 104 runs in 62 balls on his youth Test debut against Australia. Then, in IPL 2025, at the age of 14, he became the youngest player to play for Rajasthan Royals. He hit a six off the very first ball.
He also broke the record for the fastest hundred in the youth ODI. This boy is the pride of Bihar, and he is poised to make even more waves in the future.
After the match, Vaibhav’s fan following on social media increased. Everyone is praising his Kohli-like fire.
