Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who recently achieved the distinction of being sold at the youngest age in the IPL Mega Auction 2025, keeps setting new records. And in the future, numerous additional batsmen will emerge from his bat. Rajasthan Royals acquired Vaibhav for Rs 1.1 crore during the mega auction. However, Vaibhav has now become the youngest player in India to participate in a List A match (domestic fifty-over) as well as competing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Saturday. This account of India stayed unchanged for nearly 25 years.
Vaibhav set another record
Vaibhav participated in a List A match for Bihar on Saturday, being 13 years and 269 days old. With this, he surpassed the record established by Ali Akbar in 1999/2000.
At that age of 14 years and 51 days, Ali Akbar participated in his inaugural List A cricket match for Vidarbha. Vaibhav has already established the record for playing in the Ranji Trophy at the youngest age. Nonetheless, Vaibhav, who had recently garnered attention in the Under-19 matches, could not make a significant impact in his List A debut. He was out after making four runs from two balls. Vaibhav scored a four on the first delivery from Aryan Anand Pandey, but he was dismissed on the following ball.
How he caught attention?
Vaibhav gained attention when he hit 31 runs in an over against Sri Lanka during the Under-19 Asia Cup semi-final match. In this game, the left-handed player made 67 runs off 36 balls, hitting six fours and six sixes. And once more, he demonstrated that his talent cannot be overlooked.

Nevertheless, considering Suryavanshi’s recent form, it is anticipated that his bat will certainly make an impact in the forthcoming matches.
