India’s teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi may be grabbing headlines for his powerful performances in the U-19 series, but off the field, he has now found a flashy, rich friend in England — none other than England’s pace star Jofra Archer.

And no, this isn’t just a casual encounter. This friendship has a deep IPL connection and a touch of bling—literally worth crores.

Both Vaibhav and Archer are teammates in the IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals, and it was during this stint that their friendship blossomed. Currently on national duties—Vaibhav with India's U-19 team and Archer with England—they met during a break in England. A picture of their meeting was shared by Rajasthan Royals on social media with the caption:

“Yeh Dosti, Made in Rajasthan”

This friendship is also big business:

• Vaibhav Suryavanshi's IPL salary: ₹1.10 crore

• Jofra Archer’s IPL salary: ₹12.50 crore
  Together, they rake in ₹13.60 crore from Rajasthan Royals.

While Vaibhav is still rising, Archer is miles ahead in terms of wealth and status. His massive net worth was on display during IPL 2025 when he wore a 1-kg gold chain, reportedly worth ₹1.5 crore. The chain went viral and became a hot topic among fans and pundits.

Clearly, when it comes to style and swagger, Jofra Archer is in a league of his own—but now he has company in the form of India’s most talked-about young batter, Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Whether on the field or off it, this India-England duo seems to be building not just careers, but a powerful friendship, rooted in cricket and mutual respect. With both having bright futures and the backing of a major IPL franchise, this friendship might just turn into a long-standing partnership—one that fans will keep an eye on for years to come.
