14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi hits the first ball of his IPL career for a six. Stuns everyone with his talent

IPL 2025 continues to produce unforgettable moments. The latest one is a younger teenager hitting international bowlers all around the park. 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest player to play in the IPL. He has started his career in the best way possible: with a six.

14-year-old makes debut

Vaibhav celebrated his 14th birthday just 23 days ago. He became the youngest player to ever play in the IPL. The previous record was held by Prayas Ray Barman. Barman made his debut for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2019 at the age of 16 years and 157 days. In comparison, Suryavanshi has debuted much earlier. He is just 14 years and 23 days old.

Vaibhav hits six on his first ball

The Rajasthan Royals batter showed no sign of hesitation or fear in his debut. He faced international bowlers but spared no one. Facing his first ball, he hit experienced Indian bowler Shardul Thakur for a maximum. Suryavanshi just cleared his front leg, gave himself some room and launched Thakur for a six over mid-off.

The batter did not stop there. He hit the first ball he faced from Avesh Khan for a six too. Avesh bowled a full delivery, but Vaibhav hit the ball straight past the bowler’s head for another maximum. The batter was 13 off 3 at that moment.

Vaibhav’s impressive knock of 34

The young batter showed that his shots were not flukes and that he belongs at this level. He showed his talent by taking on a variety of bowlers and scoring runs consistently. Playing along with Yashasvi Jaiswal, the duo stitched a useful partnership of 85 in less than 9 overs. The partnership gave RR a strong start to the chase.

Vaibhav continued to impress and ended up with the score of 34 off 20 deliveries, He was dismissed by Aiden Markram as Rishabh Pant stumped him. However, his debut was a memorable event for everyone. The batter seems to have a lot of potential.

RR lose

Despite the impressive start by Suryavanshi, it was the Lucknow Super Giants who won the match. In a tightly contested game, RR lost the match by just 2 runs. They scored 178/5 against LSG’s 180/5.
