00:45Nitin is on the phone line with me on this story.
00:49Nitin, Vaibhav Suryawanshi has admirable cricket skills and the Prime Minister has admired them.
00:57He has also gone to meet Vaibhav Suryawanshi today.
01:00What more do we know, Nitin?
01:03Well, of course, you know, Prime Minister is known for his gender.
01:06He loves sports, be athletics or any other sport or be cricket.
01:11And meeting Vaibhav is something really big for him,
01:14because he is the youngest player who makes his debut for Rajasthan Royals when regular players wasn't there.
01:21I mean, Sanju was injured and Rajasthan was struggling for their opening line-up.
01:26And they had Vaibhav in their camp.
01:29And that is why Raul Rebhav is actually the head coach of Rajasthan Royals.
01:33He actually asked Vaibhav to go and open the industry with Vaibhav as well.
01:38And, you know, this particular young kid, he played a phenomenal evening for Rajasthan Royals.
01:45He was gifted his three by, you know, making 100 for Rajasthan Royals at this very small age.
01:51So, I mean, meeting Prime Minister is going to be a big thing for him.
01:55And he'll always remember and cherish this moment,
01:58because, you know, every athlete, whoever, you know, goes into the play field,
02:04he'll always try and do well for the nation.
02:06And Prime Minister, he has always known meeting, you know, our athletes.
02:11I remember very clearly when our, you know, Olympics team was going to participate in Tokyo Olympics.
02:17Prime Minister had a good meeting with 100 of the athletes.
02:21And similarly, you know, at the time of Commonwealth Games or at the time of Paris Olympics,
02:25he always loved, you know, to meet athletes, meet sports persons.
02:29And as far as Vaibhav's meeting is gone with Prime Minister,
02:33it is going to be a big day for Vaibhav, of course.
02:36Of course.
02:37Thank you, Nitin, for that perspective.

02:47What more do we know about this meeting?
02:50What has the Prime Minister said?
02:52What has the cricketer's family said?
02:54Well, it was a chance meeting that took place at the Patna airport between Vaibhav Suryavanshi
03:05and his parents met Prime Minister Narendra Modi just minutes before he was leaving for Uttar Pradesh
03:12to participate in another event where he has to go.
03:15And this is a chance meeting that has taken place.
03:18And it was a lifetime opportunity for Vaibhav Suryavanshi because, remember, in this IPL,
03:24he has emerged as a sensational cricketer, hitting the fastest century in this IPL.
03:30And, obviously, he has hit the headlines also and hawked a lot of limelight as he's only 14 years old.
03:37And at this young age, he has created several, you can say, records also by hitting the fastest century.
03:43So, it seems that the Prime Minister, who always speaks to a lot of athletes, sportsperson,
03:49he has a meeting regularly, now got a chance to meet Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his family also.
03:53And it was, we can say, a pleasant opportunity for Vaibhav Suryavanshi and the pictures that Prime Minister Modi himself
04:02has posted on his social media account showing that how he is meeting the young budding cricketer
04:08and his family members, that is, his father and mother, are also present there.
04:12So, it was a brilliant occasion for Vaibhav Suryavanshi especially
04:17and his family members meeting the Prime Minister at the Patna airport.
