**Dubai, UAE** – Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the youngest player ever to be sold at an IPL auction, is currently making headlines. The 13-year-old Bihar-born batsman, who was bought by the Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.10 crore, is playing in the Asia Cup with the India Under-19 team. Despite the recent hype surrounding his record-breaking IPL sale and impressive junior career, Suryavanshi remains grounded, prioritizing his game over the social media buzz.
Suryavanshi recently became the youngest centurion in a Youth Test match against Australia Under-19, scoring 104 runs off 62 balls in Chennai. He credits West Indies legend Brian Lara as his role model. While he acknowledges the achievement, he emphasizes his focus on the Asia Cup and his ongoing cricket development.
His recent T20 debut for Bihar in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Rajasthan saw him score 13 runs off 6 balls before being dismissed. Although he has yet to establish himself in first-class cricket, with an average of 10 runs in five matches, his remarkable youth and already impressive achievements point towards a bright future in the sport. Suryavanshi previously made history by becoming the youngest ever player to debut in the Ranji Trophy in 2023-24 at the age of 12 years and 284 days.
