Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 30 runs in one over against Karim Janat
New Delhi: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is being called the Wonder Boy of Indian cricket, turned 15 on March 27. With this, the path has now been cleared for Vaibhav to enter the senior team. Vaibhav, a resident of Samastipur district of Bihar, made his Ranji debut at the age of just 12. After creating a sensation in domestic cricket for Bihar, he got a chance to play in IPL for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi made a splash in his debut IPL season itself. Vaibhav confirmed his status as a wonder kid by scoring a century in just 35 balls in the match against Gujarat Titans, but in the same IPL season, Vaibhav also did such a thing, due to which the career of an Afghanistan cricketer was ruined and now he would hardly ever be able to play in this league again.
Vaibhav scored 30 runs in Karim Janat's over.
In IPL 2025, Gujarat Titans team had bought Afghanistan all-rounder Karim Janat at the base price of Rs 75 lakh. Karim got a chance to debut for Gujarat against Rajasthan. In that match, 14 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi was standing in front of 26 year old Karim Janat. While bowling against Vaibhav, Karim Janat did not know that his IPL debut would prove to be his last match.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi hit boundaries on every ball in that over against Karim. Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored a total of 30 runs in the over, which included 3 sixes and 3 fours. After that beating of Karim, captain Shubman Gill did not bowl to him again. Not only this, Karim remained sitting on the bench for Gujarat throughout the season and later the team released him for IPL 2026.
Karim Janat is playing for Afghanistan
Although Karim Janat may have got a chance to bowl only one over in the IPL, but he is an important player for Afghanistan. Karim has so far played a total of 2 Tests, 3 ODIs and 75 T20 matches for Afghanistan. His wicket account has not been opened in ODI and Test, but he has 42 wickets in his name in T20.
