Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 13-year-old from Bihar, made history as the youngest player sold in an IPL auction. Rajasthan Royals bought him for ₹1.10 crore after a fierce bidding war. Vaibhav’s father, Sanjiv Suryavanshi, dismissed age fraud rumours, saying his son had passed multiple age tests. Vaibhav recently scored the fastest century in Under-19 Tests and debuted in the Ranji Trophy at just 12 years old. Despite financial struggles, his father supported his cricket journey. Now, Vaibhav will train under Rahul Dravid and play alongside stars like Sanju Samson and Jofra Archer in the 2025 IPL season.
