Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Rajasthan had kept Rs 10 crore for him! What Vaibhav Suryavanshi did in 17 balls created a stir in IPL

New Delhi. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who made his debut in the Indian Premier League 2025, has created havoc in the tournament. When Rahul Dravid was the head coach, this youngster was included in the team by bidding more than Rs 1 crore in the auction. The team management was so impressed with Vaibhav's game that Rajasthan Royals had already decided in the IPL auction that they would include him in their team at any cost. Even if Rs 10 crore had to be spent for this, he was ready. Rs 10 crore were kept separately for that cricketer.

Ultimately, Rajasthan Royals included the most talented teenager of Indian cricket in their team for just Rs 1.1 crore. His name is Vaibhav Suryavanshi. This 13 year old boy from Samastipur, Bihar, while debuting in Rajasthan jersey, played a explosive inning of 52 runs in 17 balls. Rajasthan won the match against CSK by 8 wickets with 47 balls remaining.

Rajasthan was ready to give even Rs 10 crore to Vaibhav

Rajasthan Royals CEO Jake Lush McCram had earlier told that Vaibhav was taken to the franchise's High Performance Center in Nagpur for testing. Everyone was surprised to see him. Vaibhav had scored 17 runs in one over in that centre. He also hit three sixes. By the end of his trial session, he had hit a total of eight sixes and four fours. The franchise had decided. The fund of Rs 10 crore kept specially for this bid was a kind of insurance for them. Delhi Capitals also competed in the auction to get Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Rajasthan Royals bought him for Rs 1.1 crore, while his base price was Rs 30 lakh.
