Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old cricket sensation from Bihar, is gearing up for his CBSE Class 10 Board Exams 2026 starting February 17, 2026. Fresh from his heroic performance in India’s ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026 triumph—including a record-breaking 175-run blitz in the final against England—the young left-handed opener is now balancing elite cricket with academics.

The CBSE Class 10 board exams are scheduled from February 17 to March 11, 2026, with the first paper being Mathematics on February 17. Vaibhav, hailing from Tajpur in Samastipur district, has completed all formalities and received his admit card. He is affiliated with institutions like Poddar International School (also referred to as Podar International School or associated centers in reports), where the principal, Neel Kishore Sinha, has made it clear: no special treatment for the star cricketer.

“This is an academic pitch, not a cricket pitch,” the principal emphasized in statements to media like ANI. Vaibhav will receive the same facilities, security, and rules as every other student—no VIP privileges, no shortcuts, ensuring complete fairness in the examination hall.

The teenage prodigy, already an IPL star with Rajasthan Royals and one of the youngest to make waves in international cricket, showcases remarkable discipline by prioritizing education alongside his sporting career. His U-19 World Cup exploits, including topping charts with explosive batting (439 runs at a strike rate over 169 in the tournament), have made him a national hero, but he now shifts focus to textbooks and answer sheets.

As the exams coincide with a busy period (including overlaps with senior cricket events like the T20 World Cup window), Vaibhav’s ability to juggle both worlds highlights his maturity beyond his years. Reports from sources like Dainik Jagran, News18, Zee News, and others confirm he is fully prepared and excited for this milestone.

Wishing Vaibhav Suryavanshi all the success in his CBSE Class 10 Board Exams 2026—may he smash boundaries in the exam hall just like he does on the cricket field!
