Vaibhav Suryavashi scored 34 runs off 20 balls against Lucknow Super Giants.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) youngster Vaibhav Suryavanshi was seemingly in tears after being dismissed during the IPL 2025 match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Jaipur on Saturday.
Vaibhav, just 14 years old, made his IPL debut on Saturday and slammed 34 runs from just 20 balls. He slammed two fours and three sixes during his entertaining knock.
Vaibhav’s knock, however, ended in vain as Rajasthan Royals lost the match by two runs. Earlier, Lucknow Super Giants had won the toss and opted to bat first in Jaipur. The visitors lost Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran in the powerplay, but Aiden Markram came to the rescue with a knock of 66 runs from 45 balls.
