Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14, Becomes Youngest IPL Player, Hits Six on Debut

Vaibhav Suryavanshi made history as the youngest player ever to debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at just 14 years and 23 days old, playing for the Rajasthan Royals against Lucknow Super Giants. He made an immediate impact by hitting a six off the very first ball he faced and went on to score an impressive 34 runs from 20 deliveries, including multiple sixes and fours. Suryavanshi, who was bought by the Royals at age 13 following strong performances at youth and under-19 levels, opened the batting and formed a strong opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Despite Suryavanshi’s electrifying debut and Rajasthan’s promising start, the Royals narrowly lost the match to Lucknow by two runs. His debut has generated significant excitement, with many observers noting his remarkable composure and potential for a bright future in cricket. This historic appearance has set a new benchmark for youth achievement in the IPL.
