Vaibhav Suryavanshi is currently in Australia with India’s Under-19 team. The tour began on September 21st with an ODI series. A question has arisen: Has the 14-year-old Suryavanshi become more fit? This question surfaced after a post Suryavanshi shared on Instagram before departing for Australia. To investigate, we spoke to Suryavanshi’s childhood coach to determine if he has indeed lost weight.
How did the question of Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s improved fitness come about? Before going to Australia, he posted on Instagram with some photos. While he didn’t mention fitness, a comment from a close associate, a sidearm specialist, stated, “The boy has gotten fit.” This suggests he has focused on his fitness, and the shared photos support this.
To get to the bottom of this, we spoke with his childhood coach, Manish Ojha. Manish Ojha shared that the Under-19 team had a camp at the NCA in Australia. Vaibhav Suryavanshi was also present. He mentioned that during the NCA camp, work was done on the game of all the players, including Vaibhav, and also on their physical fitness. This implies the difference seen in Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s fitness is a result of his hard work at the NCA.
