FollowIn a groundbreaking moment at the IPL 2025 mega auction, 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi from Samastipur, Bihar, etched his name in history as the youngest player ever to be signed by an IPL franchise. Rajasthan Royals stunned the cricketing world by securing the teenage sensation for a whopping Rs 1.1 crore during the high-stakes event at the Abady Al Johar Arena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Monday.
Suryavanshi’s rise to prominence has been nothing short of a fairytale. The prodigy made headlines last year when he debuted in the Ranji Trophy at just 12 years and 284 days, breaking the record for the youngest player in the tournament's history, previously held by cricketing legends Yuvraj Singh and Sachin Tendulkar.
Adding to his accolades, Suryavanshi smashed a sensational 104 off 62 balls in a Youth Test series against Australia, setting records as the youngest centurion in competitive cricket and the fastest Indian to score a century at the youth level.
The bold move by Rajasthan Royals has left fans divided. While many hailed the franchise for spotting and backing a rare talent, others expressed skepticism over the pressure a 13-year-old might face on cricket’s grandest stage. Social media was abuzz with reactions ranging from admiration to disbelief, as cricket enthusiasts debated the decision.
Rajasthan Royals’ decision reflects their focus on building for the future, and Suryavanshi’s inclusion is seen as a long-term investment. As the young cricketer prepares for his maiden IPL season, all eyes will be on whether the teenage prodigy can handle the intensity of the tournament and live up to the hype surrounding him.
