'He Doesn’t Eat It Anymore': Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Father Reveals Star Batter Gave Up Favourite Litti Chokha Dish To Improve Fitness

Teen cricket star Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who made headlines with a record-breaking IPL century at just 14, has made a big sacrifice to improve his fitness. According to his father, Vaibhav gave up eating litti chokha, his favourite dish, to shed extra kilos and stay in shape for professional cricket.

In an interview with Dainik Jagran, his father Sanjeev Suryavanshi said, “No, he doesn’t eat Litti Chokha anymore. Now he eats a very balanced diet. He goes to the gym. He had gained a lot of weight, so he has to reduce it.”

Litti chokha is a heavy dish from Bihar made of roasted wheat balls and mashed vegetables. Vaibhav loved it, but now he has quit eating it to focus on his fitness.

Even though Vaibhav is still young, he is showing the mindset of a professional athlete. Giving up his favourite foods shows just how serious he is about playing for India one day. His hard work and discipline off the field are matching his success on it.

Suryansh Shedge Set To Lead Mumbai Emerging Squad In England Tour

Young all-rounder Suryansh Shedge has been named the captain of Mumbai's U-23 (Emerging) team for their upcoming cricket tour of England. The team will play five two-day matches and four one-day matches against different teams in England.

Along with Shedge, the squad includes two other young stars, Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Musheer Khan. Both had good experiences in the IPL and have been part of Mumbai’s T20 league.

This tour is a big opportunity for these young players to gain experience in foreign conditions and improve their skills. It will also help selectors see how they perform outside India, which is important for future selections in higher-level teams like India A or the national side.

Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) hopes that this group of talented youngsters, under the leadership of Shedge, will do well and return stronger.

Squad: Suryansh Shedge (c), Vedant Murkar (vc), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Ayush Vartak, Aayush Zimare, Himanshu Singh, Manan Bhatt, Musheer Khan, Nikhil Giri, Pragnesh Kanpillewar, Prateekkumar Yadav, Prem Devkar, Prince Badiani, Zaid Patankar, Hrishikesh Gore, Harshal Jadhav.
