Imagine a 13-year-old going to the IPL mega auction, where, along with him, many big players are roaming around, from David Warner to Prithvi Shaw. But all these big players go unsold, while the 13-year-old emerging name receives the center stage. And that’s exactly what happened in the recently held auction, when batting prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi went under the hammer, he came with a big pay check. Being the youngest player ever included in the IPL auction shortlist, this batting prodigy from Bihar stunned everyone. Usually, for new names, we don’t see bidding wars, but for Vaibhav Suryavanshi, many teams fought, starting with Delhi Capitals, followed by Rajasthan Royals. The push and pull between DC and RR continued until RR emerged victorious. In all of this, this batting star from Bihar became the youngest-ever player to be part of the IPL.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi IPL 2025 price
No one expected that this batting prodigy from Bihar, who is just 13 years old, would break records in the IPL Auction 2025. Starting with a base price of 30 lakhs, this emerging batter came out with Rs 1.10 crore and became the youngest player in IPL history to get this whopping price.
What is Vaibhav Suryavanshi team in IPL 2025?
As mentioned earlier, it was Rajasthan Royals who acquired Vaibhav’s services for the upcoming IPL 2025 and he will represent the inaugural IPL champions. However, there are chances that he may not play in the first few matches, as there are already experienced players ahead of him who may get a chance first. But the learning he will gain from a mentor like Rahul Dravid is going to be immense.
