For Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who hails from Bihar, 2025 was the year which changed his life forever.

Ranji in just 12-13 years and then a blast

That historic auction of IPL 2025

We have all seen auctions, where bids are placed on big foreign players. But when Vaibhav’s name came up in the IPL 2025 auction, everyone was stunned. Rajasthan Royals (RR) included this 14-year-old teenager in their team with a bid of Rs 1.10 crore. He became the youngest player ever to be sold in the history of IPL. It was not just a matter of money, but a triumph of his class and the confidence that the coach and team management saw in his ‘pull shots’ and technique.

Australia’s dominance in Under-19!

If anyone thought that glory is just the air of IPL, then he answered it on the field. His brilliant century against Australia’s Under-19 team, scored in just 58 balls, is one of the most beautiful memories of 2025. In front of the bowling where experienced batsmen surrender, Vaibhav was playing shots with impunity like a seasoned and experienced player. His footwork and eye coordination reminded even veteran commentators of the greats of old.
