Vaibhav Sooryavanshi soaked in one of tennis' biggest occasions on Sunday, as the teenage cricket sensation attended the Wimbledon 2026 men's singles final at the iconic All England Club in London on Sunday.
Having made his senior India debut in the recently concluded T20I series against England, where he surpassed Sachin Tendulkar to become the country's youngest international debutant at 15 years and 99 days, Vaibhav was already in the United Kingdom.
On Sunday, the young opener was in London to attend the Wimbledon men’s final between Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev at the Centre Court, accompanied by India teammate and fellow opener Abhishek Sharma.
Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh was also spotted with the two.
Going with the traditions of what is arguably the most prestigious Grand Slam in the tennis calendar, Vaibhav also dressed up for the occasion in a formal black blazer, white a shirt and a striped tie paired with tinted sunglasses.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi earned his maiden India call-up after a record-breaking Indian Premier League season with Rajasthan Royals.
The teenager finished as IPL 2026’s highest run-scorer with 776 runs in 16 matches to become the youngest-ever Orange Cap winner.
He also won the Most Valuable Player, Emerging Player, Super Striker and Super Sixes awards, striking at 237.30.
It was his second successive Super Striker award, having topped that category with a strike rate of 206.55 the previous season, which was also his debut IPL.
Sooryavanshi hit a record 72 sixes during IPL 2026 and scored a 36-ball century against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He also became the fastest batter to 1000 IPL runs by balls faced, reaching the milestone in just 440 deliveries to break Andre Russell's record.
The left-hander added another milestone by becoming the first batter to score 500 powerplay runs in a single IPL season - a feat yet to be matched in any recognised T20 tournament.
Some of his best knocks came in the playoffs. Sooryavanshi made 97 off 29 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator before scoring 96 from 47 deliveries against Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2.
Vaibhav has also been named in the Indian squad for the upcoming T20 series against Zimbabwe, scheduled to start on July 23, where he will link up with Royals teammate Ravi Bishnoi.
