Vaibhav Suryavanshi is just 13-year-old (Source:@SportsCulture24/X.com)
The IPL 2025 is up and running in style with RCB winning the first game comprehensively against KKR. In the second game, SRH are up against Rajasthan Royals, and they are batting first after Riyan Parag decided to bowl first after winning the toss. Sanju Samson has not been named in the playing XI and most probably will be used as an Impact Player due to his finger injury.
Sanju Samson Likely To Be Used As Impact Player By RR
However, if he is not fit, then other players from the Impact Player list will get a go. The 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi though is not even in that list, and will not be playing this game. Rajasthan Royals are being led by Riyan Parag in this game while they have also made a big decision of leaving out Wanindu Hasaranga from the playing XI.
Along with Sanju Samson, the likes of Kunal Singh Rathore, Kwena Maphaka, Akash Madhwal and Kumar Kartikeya are in the Impact Player list.

The line-up shows that Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who was bought for 1.1 Crore is not in the thick of the things currently, and would have to wait a little longer for his debut in IPL.
