Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 13-year-old from Bihar, was listed among the players who registered for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Suryavanshi made news as the youngest player in the history of the league to register for the auction. He recently secured a position in the India Under-19 India squad for the 2024 Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Under-19 Asia Cup, which will be held in the United Arab Emirates.

When Vaibhav was four years old, his father Sanjeev saw how much he enjoyed cricket and constructed a little playing field in their backyard. He enrolled in a cricket academy in Samastipur at the age of nine, where his extraordinary talent soon became apparent.

IPL 2025 Auctions Youngest Player:

With almost 400 runs in five games, the 12-year-old prodigy earned his debut for Bihar in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy. His most noteworthy accomplishment occurred in September 2024 when he scored an incredible 104 off 62 balls while playing for India U-19 against Australia in a youth Test match in Chennai.

It remains to be seen if the teenager will draw any bids in the mega auction, but he has already made history in the T20 competition. When Vaibhav played for Bihar in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy, he was just 12 years old and amassed almost 400 runs in five games. He quickly rose through the ranks of Bahar Cricket, turning attention everywhere he went.

A significant milestone has been reached with the teenager's inclusion in the IPL 2025 auction list, where he is listed as the 491st name in the uncapped batter category. With 100 runs in 10 innings and a peak score of 41, his first-class figures would appear respectable.

Vaibhav has secured a spot in the India Under-19 team for the 2024 Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Under-19 Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates because of his steady performances. All eyes will be on this youthful prodigy as the IPL 2025 super auction draws near, which is set to happen in Jeddah on November 24 and 25.
