Actress Neetu Chandra on Saturday, 6 June congratulated Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on becoming the youngest player ever selected for the Indian men's cricket team, sharing an emotional video on her Instagram handle that quickly drew attention for its heartfelt Bihari pride. Sooryavanshi, aged 15-16, has reportedly broken the record previously held by Sachin Tendulkar as India's youngest international cricket debutant.

Neetu Chandra's Message to the Young Prodigy

In the video posted on her official Instagram account, Neetu — herself a sports enthusiast from Bihar — said she could not contain her joy at the milestone. 'As a Bihari, as a sports girl coming from Bihar, I cannot express how happy I am. Congratulations to the whole of India that a super talented player has been selected in our Indian team. Suryavanshi is such a small 15-16 year old kid,' she said in the clip.

Neetu also extended her wishes to Vaibhav's family and to cricket fans worldwide, expressing confidence that the teenager's best days lie ahead. 'I am very proud that you are coming from Bihar. I am sure that all the Indian cricket lovers in the world are waiting and welcoming you to the Indian team. We expect a lot of World Cups from you. And you have crossed the record of Sachin Tendulkar. I am sure that many more things are yet to come. So congratulations to you and your family. Congratulations to Indians all over the world and especially to Biharis,' she added.

A Record That Eclipses a Legend

Sooryavanshi's selection is notable not just for his age but for the historical benchmark he has reportedly cleared — surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's record as the youngest Indian to make an international debut. That record had stood for decades and was widely considered untouchable, making Vaibhav's achievement all the more remarkable in Indian cricket circles.

Notably, Vaibhav hails from Bihar, a state not traditionally associated with producing top-tier Indian international cricketers, which adds a layer of significance to his selection for cricket fans and administrators in the region.

Neetu's Bihar Connect and Closing Words

The Garam Masala actress, who has long identified publicly with her Bihari roots, used the occasion to inspire younger aspirants. 'I am sure that many kids will play cricket with a lot of dedication. Coming from Bihar and all across India, they will make their name all over the world. So good luck. Jai Bihar Jai India,' she concluded in the video.

Her Instagram caption read: 'Our #indianteam #cricke player So proud of you my dearest @vaibhav_sooryavanshi09 As a #bihari and an #indian Looking forward for many great innings of your life to be unfolded in front of us and breaking many more records. jaibihar jaihind.'

What Lies Ahead for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

With his selection now confirmed, all eyes will be on how the teenager adapts to international cricket's demands. Analysts and fans alike are watching closely, with many drawing early comparisons to India's most celebrated batting greats. If Neetu Chandra's wishes are any indication of the national mood, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi carries the hopes of millions — and a state hungry for its first genuine cricket icon — into his debut.
