 Sports News: The evening of Saturday, 19 April on the cricket field was something special. Indian cricket got a new star in the match played in Jaipur between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants - Vaibhav Suryavanshi. At the age of just 14 years and 23 days, he took the record of the youngest player in IPL history. But his act did not stop here - this little batsman surprised everyone by hitting a six on the first ball.

Explosion with bat, sidelines age

When most children are looking for their place in school and playgrounds at this age, Vaibhav directly stepped into the world's most popular Cricket League IPL. The Rajasthan Royals team gave him a chance to debut when captain Sanju Samson was unavailable. The team bowled first, which gave Vaibhav waiting for batting. As soon as the time of batting came, they were sent to the ground for opening.

The fourth ball of the first over was the veteran Shardul Thakur was a singer. Vaibhav moved himself towards the leg stump and made a place with full force. As a result, Gold went to the air flying in the air for six runs. Only the first ball and the audience woke up.

Third ball again six, everyone was shocked

The first shot was as shocking as a six off the first ball, the more exciting his next shot. The next over came to Avesh Khan, and Vaibhav also hit a brilliant six over the long on. This was the third ball of his IPL innings, but the kind of confidence and class that appeared in it, he expressed that he is fully prepared for this level.

New record, new star

With this debut, Vaibhav Suryavanshi not only broke the record of effort Re Burman (16 years 157 days), but also became the youngest batsman to hit a six in the IPL. This is not a simple achievement. At such a young age, the performance of so much maturity and confidence is rarely seen.

Big price found in mega auction

Vaibhav's story is not limited to his performance just. In the IPL mega auction held in November last year, he was bought by Rajasthan Royals for ₹ 1.10 crore. He was only 13 years old then, and became the youngest player sold in auction. After this, he did not get a place in the playing XI for seven matches, but as soon as the opportunity came, he proved that the bet on him was perfect.

Dream of a farmer, star of cricket

Sanjeev Suryavanshi, father of Vaibhav, who belongs to Tajpur, a small village in Samastipur district of Bihar, is a farmer and partly journalist. He sold his land to fulfill his son's cricket dream. His sacrifice has brought color today, and Vaibhav's name is echoing not only in India, but also in the international cricket world. 

Age dispute, but not on talent

Although some questions arose about the age of Vaibhav, the bone test conducted by BCCI confirmed his age. Now that everything is legally clear, only their talent should be talked about - and that talent looks ready to compete with any international player.
