He made his Ranji Trophy debut at the age of 12.
In an unexpected treat for fans, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will feature Vaibhav Suryavanshi making his debut. At 14 years and 23 days old, he becomes the youngest player ever to debut in IPL history. With his maiden IPL cap, Suryavanshi beats the former youngest debutant – Prayas Ray Barman, who played his first IPL match (at the age of 16) in 2019 for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
In the absence of regular skipper Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag will be leading the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.
“Vaibhav, the youngster comes in,” Parag said at the coin toss.
Having played for Bihar in the Ranji Trophy, the young boy is a left-handed batter. He can take Samson’s spot to open the innings alongside another southpaw, Yashasvi Jaiswal.
