Vaibhav Suryavanshi: All you need to know about RR's young batting sensation in IPL 2025

Rajasthan Royals star Vaibhav Suryavanshi slammed a 35-ball century during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash against Gujarat Titans. 

Vaibhav Suryavanshi becomes the youngest ever batter to smash a century in T20s. With his maiden century, struggling RR defeated GT by eight wickets. 
 

Vaibhav Suryavanshi hails from a village named Tajpur in the Samastipur district of Bihar. With facilities limited in Samastipur, Suryavanshi travelled close to 90 kms almost every day to Patna along with his father, Sanjiv Suryavanshi.
 

Vaibhav Suryavanshi was just 12 years and 284 days old when he made his first-class debut for Bihar in the 2023-24 Ranji Trophy season. 
 

Playing for India B U-19, Suryavanshi scored 53 against England U-19 in the first game, followed by 75 against Bangladesh U-19s. It was during this second game that former India opener Wasim Jaffer, who was the head coach of Bangladesh U-19 then, spotted him and was "taken aback" by the youngster.
 

Suryavanshi was picked up in the IPL 2025 auction for INR 1.1 crore after impressing batting coach Vikram Rathour and director of high performance Zubin Bharucha at RR during trials. 
 

He didn't play the first seven games of the season and only came into the team because of an injury to captain Sanju Samson, making him the youngest IPL debutant.
