Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a talented young cricketer from India. He recently played well in the U-19 Asia Cup held in the UAE and scored 176 runs in five games. He hit two amazing fifties, including a fantastic 76 not out against the UAE, which helped India reach the semifinals. In the semifinal match, he hit five sixes and six fours, earning him the Player of the Match title in India’s victory.
However, some people are questioning his age. Former Pakistan cricketer Junaid Khan shared a video of Suryavanshi’s performance and wondered if a 13-year-old could really hit such long sixes.
Suryavanshi made history last month when he became the youngest player ever sold in an IPL auction, bought by Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.10 crore. After this achievement, rumors started that he might actually be 15 years old instead of 13. But his father defended him, saying that Vaibhav had his age checked with a BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) bone test when he was just 8. He also stated, “We are not scared. He can take another age test if needed.”
In March 2025, Suryavanshi will join the Rajasthan Royals, playing alongside famous players like Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal, and will be coached by the legendary Rahul Dravid.
