Sooryavanshi has already joined the pre-season camp of Rajasthan Royals in Nagpur. After an impressive debut season in 2025, he is expected to be an important player for the team in IPL 2026.
India’s young cricket star Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will not appear for his Class 10 exams this year. The 14-year-old recently played a big role in India’s victory at the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, but his busy cricket schedule has made it hard for him to focus on his studies. He spent most of 2025 travelling for matches with the India Under-19 and India A teams. Sooryavanshi studies at Modesty School in Tajpur, Bihar and his board exams were scheduled from Feb 17 to March 11. At first, there were some media reports that he would take the exams, however, his coach, Manish Ojha, has confirmed that he will skip them to prepare for the next season of the Indian Premier League.
“He won’t be giving the Class X exams. He is currently in Nagpur preparing for the upcoming IPL. He has already joined Rajasthan Royals for a pre-season camp,” said Ojha.
