Sat Apr 19 17:00:00 UTC 2025: ## 14-Year-Old Cricket Prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi Makes IPL History
**Mumbai, India** – Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old cricketer, has etched his name in the record books by becoming the youngest player ever to feature in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match. At just 14 years and 23 days old, he shattered the previous record held by Prayas Ray Barman (16 years, 157 days).
Suryavanshi, representing the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, made his debut against the Lucknow Super Giants. While not initially in the starting XI, he entered the game as an impact player and immediately made his presence felt. He smashed a six off the very first ball he faced and went on to score a quick-fire 34 runs off 20 balls, including two fours and three sixes. His innings was eventually ended when he was stumped by Markram.
The young batsman from Bihar was also the youngest player ever sold at an IPL auction, fetching a remarkable ₹1.10 crore (approximately $134,000 USD) last year. The Rajasthan Royals secured his services in a bidding war with the Delhi Capitals. Suryavanshi’s exceptional talent and this record-breaking IPL debut mark him as a rising star in Indian cricket.
