Not Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharm, 14-year-old wonderkid becomes most searched Indian cricketer on google in 2025

Wonderkid Vaibhav Suryavanshi is on an unstoppable ride of fame ever since his Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 debut, which turned his life upside down. Suryavanshi truly became a household name in 2025, largely by becoming the youngest-ever player to feature in IPL at the age of just 14. His fame experienced a major surge after he smashed a breathtaking 35-ball century during the season. Since that explosive debut, the prodigious young batter has consistently scaled new heights on the field.

However, 2025 turned out to be a breakthrough year for him off the field as well, where he also shattered a few records. This widespread public fascination has resulted in Suryavanshi being crowned the most-searched cricketer, and indeed the most-searched personality overall, on Google in India for the year 2025. He even pipped India's batting superstars like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who were undoubtedly two of the most-discussed cricketers in India throughout 2025.

Suryavanshi cemented his historical status during the tournament by becoming the second-fastest centurion in IPL history, achieving a remarkable 35-ball hundred against Gujarat Titans while maintaining an impressive strike rate of 206.55 for the season as the Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener.

Following closely behind Suryavanshi on this elite list is Priyansh Arya. Priyansh gained widespread recognition after his standout performances for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2025. The left-handed batter scored 475 runs over 17 matches, and his exceptional run in the tournament ultimately earned him a call-up to the India A squad.

Occupying the third spot on the list of most-searched personalities is Abhishek Sharma. The left-handed batsman solidified his position in India's T20I squad in 2025, notably pipping Yashasvi Jaiswal to gain selection into the Asia Cup squad. He is now a regular fixture in the T20I playing XI, having scored 756 runs in 17 matches, with India still scheduled to play five more T20Is before the year concludes.

The fourth and fifth positions on the list are held by Shaik Rasheed and Jemimah Rodrigues, respectively. Rodrigues' high placement is strongly linked to her success as a crucial member of the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian team that clinched the 2025 ODI World Cup trophy.  The right-handed batter delivered a match-winning century in the semi-final against the formidable Australian side, remaining unbeaten on 127 runs off 134 balls as India successfully chased down a target of 339 in 48.3 overs.
