Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is the new wonderkid of Indian cricket, and the explosive nature of his batting has captured everyone’s attention. Some suggest he could fetch a bid in the region of Rs 30 crore if he ever enters the IPL auction. Currently on a Rs 1.10 crore annual contract with the Rajasthan Royals, Sooryavanshi might have to wait one more year before his IPL salary changes. However, if industry experts are to be believed, the 15-year-old has already doubled his brand endorsement fees. The IPL 2026 season concluded for Sooryavanshi with 776 runs to his name, with a trend-setting strike-rate of 237.30. The numbers helped him earn several accolades, including the coveted Orange Cap and the title of the season’s Most Valuable Player.
While Sooryavanshi’s parents are managing his portfolio as far as brand endorsements are concerned, his IPL franchise, the Rajasthan Royals, is also said to be helping them. The teenager has already been seen endorsing brands like Complan and Red Bull, and now, several other brands are rushing to sign him, thanks to his IPL fireworks.
An industry expert, speaking to NDTV on the condition of anonymity, revealed that Sooryavanshi had almost doubled his endorsement fees. Before the start of IPL 2026, he signed deals in the region of Rs 1 crore each. However, he is now charging a fee ranging from Rs 1.5 to 2 crore per deal.
“Before the IPL, he had signed with a few brands in the price range of Rs 1 crore, but now he is looking at Rs 1.5 to 2 crore for endorsements. He did the deals in the range of Rs 1 crore with Complan and Red Bull. That’s the approximate price range, but now he is looking at 1.5 to 2 crore,” the source told NDTV.
