RR vs PBKS: When a little star spreads his shine in the world of cricket, it becomes impossible to forget him. Something similar has been done by Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who belongs to Samastipur district of Bihar, who has created a new history by making his debut at the youngest age in IPL history. At the age of just 14 years and 23 days, he played his first IPL match for Rajasthan Royals against Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium – and that too in a bang.

Six on the first ball, and there was noise in the stadium

During the match, as soon as Vaibhav hit a brilliant six off the first ball of fast bowler Shardul Thakur, the stadium started echoing with applause and cheers. No one could believe that this player studying in just eighth grade could bat so fearlessly. Vaibhav scored 34 runs in 20 balls in this innings, which included 3 sixes and 2 fours. His strike rate of 170 impressed the audience as well as cricket pundits.

Sundar Pichai also became a fan

This brilliant innings of Vaibhav also made tech giant and Google CEO Sundar Pichai his fan. He posted on social media and wrote,

"Woke up to see an 8th grade kid playing in the IPL!!!! What a great debut!"

This statement of Pichai proves that Vaibhav has made a place in the hearts of people not only in India but also globally.

Record was made at the age of 13, did wonders at 14

Vaibhav was bought by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 1.10 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction, when he was just 13 years old. Then he made the record of being the youngest player to get an IPL contract. Now when captain Sanju Samson got injured, the team gave Vaibhav a chance - and he turned this opportunity into history.

He has also made his first class debut

Vaibhav's journey to reach here is even more exciting. In 2024, at the age of just 12, he surprised everyone by making his first class debut with Bihar's Ranji team. Since then, he had come under the eyes of cricket experts.
