From Motipur to IPL: The Rise of a Prodigy
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old from Motipur village in Bihar, has become the latest sensation in the Indian Premier League (IPL). With sheer talent and determination, he’s now the youngest player to ever score a century in men’s T20 cricket.
Early Beginnings of a Legend
Suryavanshi’s cricket journey began at just four years old, guided by his father. By nine, he was training at an academy in Samastipur. He made his first-class debut for Bihar at just 12 years and 284 days, showing early signs of greatness.
IPL Debut and Record-Breaking Century
In November 2024, Rajasthan Royals signed him for ₹1.1 crore. On April 19, 2025, he debuted against Lucknow Super Giants, hitting a six off his first ball. But his real breakthrough came on April 28, when he blasted 101 off just 38 balls against Gujarat Titans. That knock made him the youngest ever T20 centurion and the fastest Indian to score an IPL hundred — in just 35 balls.
Praise from Legends
Icons like Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, and Suryakumar Yadav have praised his fearless style. Rajasthan Royals’ coaching staff also acknowledged his maturity and composure.
Future of Indian Cricket
Despite some debate over his age, Vaibhav’s talent is unquestionable. With the right mentorship and support, this young star could redefine the future of Indian cricket.
