RR vs LSG: Vaibhav Suryavanshi Becomes the Youngest Player to Make IPL Debut
Vaibhav Suryavanshi becomes the youngest-ever player to debut in IPL at just 14 years and 23 days old.
The 36th match of IPL 2025 is being played between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and chose to bat first under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant. However, all eyes were on Rajasthan Royals, who made a historic change in their playing XI.
Sanju Samson is not playing this match due to an injury he picked up in the last game. In his absence, a new and young face has come into the team—Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
The young boy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, is just 14 years and 23 days old. He has now become the youngest player to ever play in the Indian Premier League.
This is a big moment not just for Rajasthan Royals but also for Indian cricket, as such a young talent getting an IPL debut is a rare moment.
Vaibhav replaced Sanju Samson in the playing XI. While it’s still early to judge his future, the fact that a 14-year-old is now part of the biggest T20 league in the world shows how teams are now open to giving young talents a chance.
Riyan Parag is leading Rajasthan Royals in today’s match, and he will have the extra responsibility of guiding this young debutant on the field.
