The Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) preparations are well underway. But Vaibhav Suryavanshi, their youngest player, is the center of attention. During one of the practice sessions, the 13-year-old batting prodigy showed off his amazing power-hitting abilities.
The Royals paid INR 1.1 crore for Suryavanshi, making him the youngest cricket player ever selected at an IPL auction. He is now one of the guys to keep an eye on because of his participation in the squad. The Southpaw, meanwhile, displayed his aggressive batting approach during RR’s practice session by blasting several deliveries over the boundary ropes.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi exudes assurance: Sanju Samson
The team and management of RR have made a strong effort to provide a nurturing atmosphere for the child, which will help him adjust to IPL cricket. Sanju Samson, captain, also said he was impressed by the young player’s batting prowess.
During the Rajasthan Royals Academy, Vaibhav was hammering sixes out of the ground, demonstrating his confidence. People were already discussing his use of force. Can you ask for anything more? The key is to recognize his skills, support him, and act as an older brother would. Our team, the Rajasthan Royals, supports our players and makes sure the changing room is a happy place. I think he’s prepared for the IPL. On a JioHotstar special, Sanju Samson stated, “He appears capable of throwing a few good punches here and there.”
When starting the batting against Australia Under-19 in a four-day match in Chennai last year, the Bihar batsman, who has already played for India Under-19, hammered a ton. He has scored 100 runs while playing in five first-class matches thus far. The high point of his career thus far was his century off just 58 balls against Australia U-19. With his innings, he became the youngest player in youth cricket history to reach a century.
