Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old cricketer, faced a reality check when he was dismissed for a duck by Deepak Chahar while playing for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League 2025. Despite this setback, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar advised fans to be patient with the young player and not rush into considering him for the national team. Suryavanshi had earlier made headlines by scoring 101 runs off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans, becoming the youngest centurion in IPL history. Gavaskar emphasized the importance of the second season for young players like Suryavanshi, as it becomes more challenging when opponents have more data and visuals on their playing style. Suryavanshi was picked up by Rajasthan Royals for INR 1.10 crore in the IPL mega auction and has shown promise with his aggressive batting. Gavaskar suggested waiting for the next IPL season to assess Suryavanshi’s performance and development.
