Young cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has made a place in India's T20 team, adopts a special method to keep himself calm and focused before the match. He watches episodes of his favorite cartoon Chhota Bheem before entering the field. This interesting information was shared by industrialist Harsh Goenka, after which it is being discussed a lot on social media. People say that despite achieving rapid success, 15 year old Vaibhav still cherishes the innocence of his childhood.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who was selected in the Indian team for the T20 series against England and Ireland this summer, is constantly in the headlines due to his batting. But this time he is being discussed not about cricket but about his pre-match routine.
Chhota Bheem is not just a cartoon character but one of the most successful animation brands of India. This franchise has been created by Rajeev Chilaka, who is the founder of Green Gold Animation. The estimated value of the Chhota Bheem brand is said to be more than Rs 500 crore, while the value of its parent company Green Gold Animation is estimated to be around Rs 800 crore. This character earns crores of rupees through licensing, merchandising and digital content.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi recently performed brilliantly in the IPL, scoring 776 runs and also made the record of hitting most sixes in a season. Now his love for Chhota Bheem has also become a topic of discussion among the fans.
Harsh Goenka wrote in a post on social media, Do you know what young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi does to stay calm and focused before the match? He watches his favorite cartoon Chhota Bheem on his phone. Glad to know that he still cherishes his childhood.

So happy to know that he is holding on to his childhood.— Harsh Goenka (@hvgoenka) June 6, 2026
There is a lot of pressure on young players in professional sports. The expectations of the fans, the attention of the media and the challenge of performing consistently can exhaust them mentally. In such a situation, watching Chhota Bheem has become an easy and effective way for Vaibhav to reduce stress and keep himself comfortable.
People are also liking this habit of Vaibhav because it shows his simplicity and innocence. In today's times, young players are expected to mature very quickly, but Vaibhav's love for cartoons shows that he is still enjoying life like a normal teenager.
People also gave funny reactions to this on social media. One user wrote, small packet, big bang. While the other one said, he is Chhota Bheem himself. Another user jokingly wrote, now I understand what is the secret of his brilliant batting.
