Meet Vaibhav Suryavanshi: The Young Cricket Star Who Made History!

Imagine being just 14 years old and playing in one of the biggest cricket leagues in the world — that’s exactly what Vaibhav Suryavanshi did! On April 19, 2025, Vaibhav became the youngest ever player to play in the Indian Premier League (“IPL”) after making his debut for RR against Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur at the age of 14 years and 23 days.  He started his innings with a BANG — he hit the very first ball he faced for a six. He scored 34 runs from 20 balls, showing everyone he’s got serious skills. Although his team lost by just 2 runs, Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s amazing debut was the real win. At just 13, he made headlines during the IPL 2025 mega auction by becoming the youngest cricketer in history to be shortlisted for an IPL auction. He was eventually signed by the Rajasthan Royals team for the IPL 2025 season.

About Vaibhav Suryavanshi

Vaibhav Suryavanshi was born on March 27, 2011, in Tajpur village, Bihar. His cricket journey started early, when his father—a farmer—noticed Vaibhav’s love for the game at age four. To support his son’s passion, he built a small practice area in their backyard and even sold his farm in Motipur to help fund Vaibhav’s cricketing dreams. After Vaibhav turned nine, he joined a cricket academy located in the nearby town of Samastipur.

Why do you think the coach trusted Vaibhav Suryavanshi to play in such an important match, even though he was so young?
