Earlier on Monday, the official Rajasthan Royals’ X (formerly Twitter) account shared a video of Preity meeting Vaibhav, with the caption, “Flex levels at school: Vaibhav Suryavanshi.”
The video shows Preity conversing with Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal before stepping aside and saying, “Nice meeting you.” She then tells Shashank Singh that she wants to meet the 14-year-old Vaibhav, saying, “Come, let’s go say hi to him.”
Preity Zinta approached Vaibhav, and they had a brief conversation. After their chat, Vaibhav shook her hand. However, the video shared by the franchise does not show Preity hugging Vaibhav.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a 14-year-old cricketer playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. Hailing from Maharashtra, he has already impressed many with his exceptional talent at such a young age. Both fans and coaches have high hopes for him, considering him a future star. His recent meeting with actress Preity Zinta during a match gained significant attention, further boosting his popularity.
