IPL auction: 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi becomes crorepati after Rajasthan deal

New Delhi: Cricket lovers of Bihar and Jharkhand are very excited about the name of 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the mega auction of IPL 2025. He will participate as the youngest player in this auction to be held on 24 and 25 November in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).

Vaibhav Suryavanshi recently turned 13, he made his first-class cricket debut in January 2024, where he scored 31 runs in 2 innings. With this, he became the second youngest player to play in the Ranji Trophy for Bihar. He has so far scored 100 runs in 5 matches (10 innings) for Bihar, in which his best score has been 41 runs.

However, there is some controversy over his age, as in 2023 he said in an interview that he was born on 27 September 2009, which could make him half a year older. Despite this, his future in cricket looks bright considering his recent performance and great talent. Recently, in the Under-19 Test matches, he scored a century in 58 balls against Australia, which was the fastest century in India’s Under-19 cricket history. He then scored 104 runs in the first innings of the first Test, helping India eventually win.
