Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who became the youngest player to make a debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) at just 14-years-old announced his arrival in style with a no-look six on the first ball he faced against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
On the fourth ball of the first over by Shadul Thakur, Suryavanshi got the strike and he smacked it for six as the ball flew over the extra-cover boundary.
Bought for INR 1.1 crores at the auction last November, the young Suryavanshi showed no fear and was full of attacking intent as he took on the LSG bowlers.

After the first ball six, he took Avesh Khan to the cleaners in the very next over for another six and a boundary.
