Sun Dec 01 12:29:21 UTC 2024: ## IPL Crorepati Flops in U-19 Asia Cup Debut

**Dubai, UAE –** Thirteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who became the youngest crorepati in IPL history after being bought by Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.10 crore (approximately $130,000 USD), had a disastrous debut in the Under-19 Asia Cup. Facing Pakistan on Saturday, November 30th, Suryavanshi, batting as an opener for India, managed only one run from nine balls before being dismissed. India, chasing a challenging 281/7 set by Pakistan, lost three early wickets.

Suryavanshi’s performance sparked immediate criticism on social media, with many questioning his selection and technique. The Rajasthan Royals’ young investment faced a barrage of online trolling, highlighting the significant gap between the hype surrounding his IPL auction price and his actual on-field performance. While Pakistan’s innings saw a strong start followed by a late Indian bowling resurgence, resulting in a final score of 281/7, Suryavanshi’s brief appearance overshadowed the match for many Indian fans. The young cricketer’s future prospects now remain a subject of intense debate and scrutiny.
