Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to make rapid strides on the cricketing stage, with his performances in IPL, domestic cricket and the junior game drawing him admiration from fans and peers alike. Aged just 14 at the moment, the teenage batting sensation recently plundered 171 runs from just 95 balls for India Under-19 against UAE in the opening match of the ongoing 2025 Under-19 Men’s Asia Cup last week.

Still in Dubai for India’s next game against Malaysia Under-19, Vaibhav Suryavanshi graciously found time to sign autographs for a bunch of young admirers near the team hotel. One young Indian fan even likened Suryavanshi with former all-rounder and serial World Cup-winner Yuvraj Singh.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi shot himself up to global prominence with a breakthrough IPL 2025 season earlier this year after he made his tournament debut as the youngest cricketer in history. Opening the innings with Rajasthan Royals, the attacking left-hander plundered over 250 runs in seven games at a strike rate of 206.55 and an average of 36.

The 14-year-old was also selected in India A squad for the 2025 Asia Cup Rising Stars in Doha, where he aggregated 239 runs in just four innings at a strike rate of 243.87. Shortly after playing a handful of matches for Bihar in the 2025-26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is currently in the UAE for the 2025 Under-19 Asia Cup.
