14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Makes Record-Breaking IPL Debut
You won’t believe what just happened in the world of cricket! A 14-year-old boy — yes, just 14 — has taken the Indian Premier League by storm. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the name on everyone’s lips right now, has officially become the youngest player ever to debut in the IPL. Born in 2011, Vaibhav wasn’t even around when the IPL began in 2008, and now he’s already out there smashing sixes on debut. Let that sink in!
The big moment happened during a thrilling match between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Rajasthan brought him in as an impact substitute after their skipper Sanju Samson was ruled out due to injury. What followed next was something straight out of a dream — Vaibhav walked in and on the very first ball, smoked a stunning six over extra cover. His fearless attitude was on full display as he went on to score 34 off just 20 balls, hammering three sixes and two boundaries before getting stumped.

Even though Rajasthan ended up losing the match by a narrow margin of two runs, the spotlight was all on this young sensation from Bihar. His partnership of 85 runs with Yashasvi Jaiswal was electric, and it gave Rajasthan Royals the momentum they needed during their chase. This wasn’t just a fluke either. Vaibhav already made headlines earlier for scoring a triple century in under-19 zonal cricket, and Rajasthan Royals saw the spark — bidding $1.1 million for him in the auction!
This performance also places him among an elite list of players who started their IPL careers by hitting a six off the very first ball. We’re talking big names like Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite, and Maheesh Theekshana — and now, this school-going teenager is up there with them.
Vaibhav’s debut is more than just numbers. It’s symbolic. It’s a reminder of how the game continues to evolve and how talent knows no age. At 14 years and 23 days old, he hasn’t just broken a record — he’s announced himself to the world. Whether you’re a cricket lover or not, this is the kind of story that gives you goosebumps. Who knows? We might just be witnessing the start of a legendary career.
One thing’s for sure — we’ll be hearing the name Vaibhav Suryavanshi for a long, long time.
