वैभव सूर्यवंशी चार साल के उम्र में जर्सी पहनने के लिए रोने लगे थे आज इतिहास के पन्ने में तस्वीर दर्ज

वैभव सूर्यवंशी अखबार के पत्रकार थे इसलिए क्रिकेट खेलने बुलाया तो पिता साथ में देखने लेकर जाता था

वैभव सूर्यवंशी चार साल का बच्चा बीच खेल में रोने लगता जर्सी पहनने के लिए तो जिद्द देखकर पहना देते

कहा जाता की पुत के पांव पालना में ही दिख जाता वही क्रिकेट को लेके लगन शुरुआत से ही था

इसलिए देश ही नहीं विदेश में भी वैभव सूर्यवंशी का दीवानगी हर क्रिकेट फैंस के सर चढ़ कर बोल रहा है

श्रीलंका सरकार ने वैभव सूर्यवंशी को , एक्सीलेंस इन स्पोर्ट्स , अवार्ड से सम्मानित किया

ये हर भारतीय के लिए गर्व का पल था

This is not an AI-generated video, but it has been misleadingly clipped out of context to completely misrepresent what was actually said.

[Colombo Insights @colomboinsights]

@Ru173418052 Is this AI-generated? I certainly hope so. Otherwise I might lose faith in humanity.

How can someone be this cruel and inhumane?
