IPL Prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Doubles Endorsement Fee, Attracts ₹12 Crore Bat Sponsorship Offer
New Delhi: The numbers are staggering, and they are climbing fast. Fifteen-year-old cricketing sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who took the IPL 2026 by storm with a record-breaking 776 runs and the Orange Cap, has doubled his brand endorsement fees in a matter of weeks .
From ₹1 Crore to ₹2 Crore Per Deal
Just before the start of IPL 2026, Sooryavanshi signed his first major brand deals, reportedly in the range of ₹1 crore each with Complan and Red Bull . However, his explosive performances—including a 97 off just 29 balls in the Eliminator—have dramatically altered his market value .
Industry sources confirm that the teenage prodigy is now commanding ₹1.5 crore to ₹2 crore per endorsement deal . His current portfolio includes brands like Complan, Red Bull, Google Pay, and Sareen Sports (SS) bats .
Blank Cheque Offer for Bat Sponsorship
The most eye-catching development is in the bat sponsorship arena. Reports indicate that Sooryavanshi has received a "blank-cheque" offer from a major sponsor, reportedly worth up to ₹12 crore annually .
Currently earning approximately ₹50 lakh per year from his existing bat deal with SS, the new valuations represent a staggering 24-fold increase . For context, established stars like Rishabh Pant command around ₹8 crore annually—figures that Sooryavanshi is already surpassing at age 15 .
A Measured Approach
Despite the frenzy, those managing his career are taking a cautious approach. The Rajasthan Royals franchise is reportedly assisting his family in navigating the commercial offers . The Economic Times reports that brands are now seeking shorter 2-3 year commitments rather than longer deals, allowing flexibility based on his continued performance .
As one marketing executive noted, "His fees may increase to the ₹1 crore-plus league, but that will depend on negotiations and how much exposure his family is comfortable with, considering he is just 15"
