Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 13-year-old cricketer from a small village in Bihar, made history by becoming the youngest player ever to be sold at an Indian Premier League (IPL) auction. Rajasthan Royals secured his services for a whopping INR 1.10 crore during the mega auction held at the Abadi Al Johar Arena in Jeddah. Suryavanshi, who was introduced at a base price of INR 30 lakh, attracted a bidding war between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals before the former emerged as the highest bidder, turning the young talent into a millionaire.
Born on March 27, 2011, in Tajpur village, Suryavanshi’s cricket journey began at the age of four when his father noticed his passion for the game. He was enrolled in a cricket academy at the age of nine and quickly rose through the ranks, impressing selectors with his performances. Despite missing out on the ICC U-19 World Cup squad, Suryavanshi caught the eye of Bihar selectors and made his first-class debut at a young age, becoming the youngest player to do so since 1986.
In October of the same year, Suryavanshi showcased his talent by scoring a stunning 58-ball century for India U-19 against Australia, setting a record for the fastest hundred by an Indian in U-19 Test cricket. His rapid rise in the cricketing world has garnered attention and accolades, establishing him as a promising young talent to watch out for.
