Vaibhav Suryavanshi: The Young IPL Sensation and His Academic Rumors

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Rise in IPL

At just 14 years old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has become a prominent figure in this year's IPL, having been acquired by the Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.10 crore during the mega auction. He made history by being the youngest player to debut in the IPL, and since then, he has accumulated 155 runs across five matches.

Clarifying the Academic Rumors

Recently, rumors surfaced regarding Vaibhav's academic performance, suggesting he had failed his 10th-grade board exams. This speculation gained traction on social media, primarily stemming from a humorous post by a fan page called 'Satirelogy.' The post jokingly mentioned that the BCCI sought a DRS-style review of his exam results, which many mistakenly interpreted as factual news.

The Truth About His Education

In reality, Vaibhav is still in Class 8 at Modesty School in Tajpur, Bihar, making the claims about his failure in Class 10 completely unfounded.

Vaibhav's Cricketing Journey

Born on March 27, 2011, in Tajpur village, Bihar, Vaibhav began his cricketing journey at the tender age of four, mentored by his father. By nine, he was training at a cricket academy in Samastipur, where his talent quickly became evident. At just 12, he scored 400 runs in five matches during the Vinoo Mankad Trophy and made his first-class debut for Bihar in January 2024, becoming the second-youngest player to participate in the Ranji Trophy.

Record-Breaking Performance

Vaibhav made headlines by scoring a century in just his third IPL match, setting the record for the fastest century by an Indian player in the league and becoming the youngest player to achieve this milestone in the format.

Upcoming Matches

He is set to continue representing the Rajasthan Royals in the upcoming IPL matches scheduled for May 18 and 20.
