Jaipur, April 20 (NationPress) The president of the Bihar Cricket Association (BCA), Rakesh Tiwari, has showered accolades on Vaibhav Suryavanshi for his explosive performance during his debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Saturday. This debut was nothing short of a fairytale as the 14-year-old Vaibhav made a remarkable entrance by hitting a six off the very first ball he faced against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 36 of the IPL 2025 edition.
The promising left-handed batsman scored a rapid 34 runs off just 20 balls, featuring two boundaries and three impressive sixes, providing the Rajasthan Royals with a tremendous start in a critical match. Though he was dismissed in the ninth over, his fearless batting left a significant mark. Unfortunately, the Rajasthan Royals lost the match by just two runs as Lucknow Super Giants clinched victory at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday.
Commenting on Vaibhav's performance, BCA President Rakesh Tiwari conveyed his immense pride and optimism regarding Vaibhav's future.
"I am incredibly delighted after witnessing Vaibhav bat in the IPL. I have always believed that whenever Vaibhav gets the chance, he will shine. I am confident he will continue to deliver such remarkable innings going forward," stated Mr. Rakesh Tiwari.
"This is merely the beginning. I am convinced that Vaibhav possesses the potential to become one of the most prominent figures in Indian cricket in the coming years," he added.
On Saturday, Vaibhav became the youngest player to participate in the IPL. Previously, this record was held by Prayas Ray Barman, who debuted for RCB at the age of 16 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2019.
Last year, Vaibhav made history by becoming the youngest player to be purchased at an IPL auction when Rajasthan Royals acquired him for INR 1.1 crore. His sensational performance in the 2024 season highlighted his skills both domestically and internationally. Born on March 27, 2011, in Bihar, Vaibhav is the youngest player featured in this year's IPL. He made his first-class debut for Bihar in January 2024 at just 12 years and 284 days old.
During his debut, Vaibhav scored 71 runs off 42 balls against Baroda in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, making him the youngest Indian to achieve a List-A fifty. On the international stage, Vaibhav set the record for the fastest youth Test century by an Indian, scoring a stunning 58-ball ton against Australia in Chennai. He also played a crucial role in India's journey to the ACC U19 Asia Cup final, contributing two vital half-centuries.
