IPL 2025: Rising Stars, Thrilling Victories, and Fan Gear

Vaibhav Suryavanshi Makes History

At just 14 years old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest player in IPL history to make his debut. Playing for Rajasthan Royals against Lucknow Super Giants, he started his innings with an astounding six off his first ball, impressing spectators and commentators alike. Replacing captain Sanju Samson as an impact substitute during the 181-run chase, the left-hander contributed a dynamic 34 runs off 20 balls, including three sixes, and shared an 85-run opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Despite his efforts, Rajasthan narrowly lost by two runs. Praised by team staff and former players for his confidence and talent, Suryavanshi is known for his aggressive, 360-degree playing style. His rise to prominence began at 13 when he was signed for 11 million rupees, and he has previously shone in domestic cricket and India's U-19 team. His early achievements, including a Ranji Trophy debut at 12 and a triple-century in Bihar, suggest a promising future in professional cricket.
