Vaibhav Suryavanshi Becomes IPL's Youngest Player

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 13-year-old cricketer from Bihar, made history by becoming the youngest player sold in IPL auction, secured by Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.1 crore. His remarkable achievements include making his Ranji Trophy debut at just 12 and scoring a century in a youth Test against Australia. However, his age has come under scrutiny, with allegations suggesting he may actually be 15 years old, which his father has vehemently denied, citing past age verification tests. Rajasthan Royals' CEO expressed confidence in Suryavanshi's abilities, noting his impressive trials and potential to develop further. Suryavanshi's signing has sparked excitement within the franchise as they prepare for the upcoming IPL season starting March 14, 2025. Despite the controversies, his talent has already gained recognition in both Indian and Australian cricket circles.
