Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the youngest player to enter an IPL auction, made his first-class debut for Bihar in January 2024 at just 12 years and 284 days, setting a new record as the youngest Indian debutant since 1986.

In September 2024, Vaibhav scored a quickfire 104 off 62 balls for India U-19 in a youth Test against Australia, setting a record for the fastest century by an Indian in youth Tests. He is also part of the India U-19 squad for the Under-19 Asia Cup. He has played five first class matches so far and scored 100 runs.

2. Ayush Mhatre (17y 130d)

The young opening batter from Mumbai has been gaining attention with his strong performances. He is selected for the India U-19 squad for the upcoming Under-19 Asia Cup.

In six first-class matches, he has scored 441 runs, including two centuries and a fifty, showcasing his talent. He was also invited for trials by Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

3. Andre Siddharth (18y 87d)

Siddarth, a middle-order batter from Tamil Nadu, has emerged as one of the youngest names in the IPL 2025 auction. He made an impressive start to his first-class career, scoring 372 runs in six innings at an outstanding average of 93.

His consistent performances have also earned him a spot in the India U-19 squad for the upcoming Under-19 Asia Cup.

4. Kwena Maphaka (18y 229d)

The left-arm pacer from South Africa has shown remarkable growth in his cricketing journey, earning a spot in the Under-19 World Cup and later an IPL contract. While his stint with Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024 was short and not very impactful, he is set to return to the auction with renewed determination.

Known for consistently bowling at speeds of 140 km/h, he has already represented South Africa in three T20Is and played two first-class matches. His pace and potential make him a promising talent to watch.

So far, he has played 8 One Day Internationals, taking 12 wickets. His best performance came earlier this month against Bangladesh, where he claimed an outstanding 6 for 26. In T20Is, his record is even more impressive, having picked up 29 wickets in only 16 games.

6. Noor Ahmad (19y 325d)

The 19-year-old left-arm wrist-spinner Noor has quickly made a name for himself in cricket. He debuted in the IPL with Gujarat Titans in 2023, taking 16 wickets in 13 matches. In the IPL 2024 season he took 8 wickets in 10 matches.

Noor’s sharp turn and clever variations make him a valuable bowler, especially in powerplays and death overs. With experience in T20 leagues around the world, he has entered the mega auction with a base price of INR 2 crore.
