The performance of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025 is quite disappointing. He has played 5 matches so far, out of which he has lost two and defeat in three. He is ranked seventh in the points table. Now Rajasthan expects a miracle. In such a situation, everyone's eyes rest on a 14 -year -old child, who is desperate to debut in IPL. In the nets, he is beating the balls of Jofra Archer fiercely. Seeing the batting of this 14 -year -old batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi, it seems that he is in a great form and is desperate to blow the bowlers. Please tell that in the mega auction, Rajasthan Royals bought him for Rs 1.1 crore.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a resident of Samastipur, Bihar, made his debut in Ranji against Mumbai at the age of 12. Vaibhav shocked everyone by scoring a fast century in the Under-19. He scored this century against the Australia Under-19 team. He scored a century in only 58 balls. This was the second fastest century after Moin Ali's century off 56 balls. Vaibhav scored 104 runs on 62 balls. Vaibhav is the cricketer who scored a century at the age of 13 years and 188 days. He made this record by breaking the record of Bangladeshi cricketer Najmul Hussain Shanto.
Shanto's record was to score a century in 14 years and 241 days.Vaibhav Suryavanshi was selected in the India-B Under-19 team for the Under-19 series held in Mulapadu, Andhra Pradesh in November 2023. The tournament also included India A, Bangladesh and England under-19 teams. This series was a big opportunity to choose the Indian team for the ICC Under-19 World Cup to be held in 2024. Batting the opening, Vaibhav scored 41 against England, dismissed for zero against Bangladesh and scored 8 against India A.
Because of this, he could not make a place in the World Cup team. After this Vaibhav made a comeback. He caught everyone's attention in the Under-23 selection camp in Bihar and made it to the Ranji Trophy team of the state.In January 2024, Vaibhav made his first-class career debut in the Elite Group B match of Ranji Trophy 2023-24 against Mumbai in Patna. At that time, he was only 12 years and 284 days old. Vaibhav became the youngest player to make first-class debut after 1986 and also became the second youngest player to play for the Ranji Trophy team of Bihar. So far, only three Indian players Alimuddin (12 years, 73 days), SK Bose (12 years, 76 days) and Mohammad Ramadan (12 years, 247 days) have played first-class cricket at the age of Vaibhav.
Vaibhav played an important role in bringing India to the finals in the Under-19 Asia Cup in 2024. He was the second highest scorer of his team in the tournament and he scored two half -centuries.Rajasthan Royals bought 14 -year -old Vaibhav Suryavanshi for 1.1 crores in the auction for IPL 2025, although they will have to wait a little for a debut. Rahul Dravid, head coach of Rajasthan Royals, had revealed that he is preparing this young player and will not be afraid to feed them if the opportunity comes.
Head coach Rahul Dravid told in the press conference that Vaibhav Suryavanshi is an effective player and is currently taking experience with the players of the team. The same is happening to them to prepare a player. Rahul Dravid told that he is taking good training. We prepare it well, if the opportunity comes, we will not be afraid to feed him.
