Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to Skip Class 10 Board Exams Over Cricket Commitments

The 14-year-old opted out after family–school talks because continuous camps left no time to prepare.

Overview

  • Earlier confirmations that he would sit the CBSE exams from February 17 to March 11 at Podar International School, Samastipur, were reversed despite an admit card already being issued.
  • Modesty School director Adarsh Kumar Pintu said the call was made after a discussion with Vaibhav’s father, Sanjeev Sooryavanshi.
  • A later Times of India report cited a Bihar Cricket Association source who also pointed to security concerns at the designated exam centre.
  • School officials had emphasized equal treatment in the exam hall, and the District Magistrate had ordered heightened security in anticipation of crowds.
  • Sooryavanshi, who struck 175 in the U19 World Cup final and finished with 439 runs and a record 30 sixes, now focuses on training camps and his Rajasthan Royals duties.
