Youngest IPL Player Vaibhav Suryavanshi Faces Age Controversy

The ACC Men's Under-19 Asia Cup 2024, beginning November 29 in the UAE, is set to spotlight emerging cricket talent, with India historically the most successful team. Among the promising players is 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, recently signed by Rajasthan Royals for INR 1.10 Crore, making him the youngest player in IPL history. Suryavanshi's rise includes impressive performances such as a 58-ball century against Australia's U-19 team. However, his achievement is clouded by allegations of age fraud, claiming he is actually 15. His father insists on the accuracy of his age, citing previous bone tests. Despite these controversies, Suryavanshi remains a key figure in the upcoming tournament, expected to play a significant role under coach Rahul Dravid's guidance.
