13 year old millionaire will now hit sixes in Pakistan, has made more than one record at a young age

Cricket News Desk. Team India will start its Under-19 Asia Cup campaign against Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Saturday. The Indian team led by Mohammad Aman is searching for its ninth Under-19 Asia Cup title this time. 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi will also be seen playing for India in this match, for whom Rajasthan Royals had recently bid Rs 1.1 crore in the mega auction.

Vaibhav has scored a century against Australia
With a base price of Rs 30 lakh, Vaibhav became the youngest player to be selected in the IPL auction. If we look at the records made by him at such a young age, even the best batsman would be put to shame. He also scored a century in the Under-19 Test against Australia. Just two months ago, he had scored 104 runs in 62 balls against Australia’s Under-19 team in Chennai. After this innings, he became the youngest player to score an international century in youth cricket. At that time his age was 13 years and 187 days.

Recorded in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
The previous record was held by current Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto, who achieved this feat at the age of 14 years and 241 days. Earlier, on 23 November 2024, when he played for Bihar against Rajasthan, Vaibhav became the youngest player to play in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Apart from this, he has also played Ranji match at this age which is a record in itself.

Vaibhav is ahead of Sachin-Yuvraj in this matter
Vaibhav has left behind great batsmen Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh in terms of playing Ranji at the youngest age. While Sachin played his first Ranji match at the age of 15 years and 230 days, Yuvraj played his first Ranji match at the age of 15 years and 57 days. Apart from Vaibhav, the youngest players to play Ranji include Alimuddin of Rajputana, SK Bose of Bihar and Mohammad Ramzan of North India.
