Vaibhav Suryavanshi<\/a>, the 14-year-old sensation, became a household name after his exploits in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Rajasthan Royals. He announced himself at the grandest stage of them all by hitting a six off the bowling of Shardul Thakur against Lucknow Super Giants. It must be mentioned that this was Suryavanshi’s first delivery in the tournament. A few games later, the southpaw registered the fastest century by an Indian, scoring a ton off just 35 balls against Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans.<\/p>\n

Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin<\/a>, who represented Chennai Super Kings in this year’s IPL, said he was left shocked after seeing the range of the young batter.<\/p>\n

Vaibhav Suryavanshi got a chance in the playing XI after Sanju Samson<\/a> was ruled out due to a side strain. The left-handed batter never looked back as he formed a formidable opening pair with Yashasvi Jaiswal.<\/p>\n

Suryavanshi did not even spare his teammates as in a video shared by Rajasthan Royals, he was seen smashing Jofra Archer to all parts of the ground during a training session. <\/p>\n

Suryavanshi played seven games in the entire IPL 2025 season, scoring 252 runs at an average of 36 and a strike rate of 206.56. The franchise bought him for INR 1.1 crore, making him the youngest player to be sold in the auction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ll tell you one small story. After that RR versus CSK game in Delhi. It is not so much about his hitting. So I bowled one ball, from around the stumps. He played one to cover. And the next ball, I bowled it slow. You have kept wickets for me for a long time. I wanted to see where he would go. He just waited on that ball,\u201d Ashwin told Sanju Samson during a chat on the former’s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust creamed through mid-on for a single. I was like, \u2018What the hell, man. Where has this guy come from?\u2019 And he is 14 years old. And I made my debut 18 years ago in the IPL. He was still in the imagination of his parents. So, it was quite crazy. I saw Jos Buttler talk to Jofra about it. He asked him, \u2018How did it feel to get smashed by a 14-year-old in the nets?\u2019,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u2018His hitting shocked me\u2019<\/p>\n

Sanju Samson was also full of praise for Suryavanshi, saying the left-hander’s big-hitting ability shocked him. \u201cThe young boy who is smashing it all around the park for the Rajasthan Royals. Vaibhav Suryavanshi,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he hit the first ball for a six, I was like, ‘That’s cool. He lucked out’. But then he just went on and on. The quality of shots he was hitting really shocked me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Suryavanshi carried on with his form in the series against England U19. In the fourth ODI, the left-hander smashed a century, becoming the youngest to do so in a Youth Men’s match.<\/p>\n

He then also became the youngest-ever to take a wicket in a Youth Men’s Test. Suryavanshi has also been named in India’s squad for the upcoming multi-format series against Australia U19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 14-year-old sensation, became a household name after his exploits in the Indian Premier League (IPL)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332615,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,5710,4127,12356,50485,17703,79,16,15,11360],"class_list":{"0":"post-332614","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-ipl","10":"tag-ipl-2025","11":"tag-rahul-dravid","12":"tag-ravichandran-ashwin","13":"tag-sanju-samson","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-vaibhav-suryavanshi"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115003392463216963","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332614\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
