In a sensational debut, Vaibhav Suryanvashi announced his arrival in the IPL by opening his account with a powerful six! Facing Shardul Thakur, the 14-year-old wasted no time showcasing his talent, smashing a towering six that left everyone speechless.

Continuing his fearless form, Vaibhav greeted Avesh Khan with another maximum in just the second over. It didn’t take him long to prove the saying true: “Idol is small, but his achievements are mighty.” One of his sixes even measured a staggering 80 meters, a clear display of his raw power and confidence.

With this explosive start, Vaibhav became the 10th batsman in IPL history to open his account with a six on debut. However, what truly sets him apart is his age—just 14 years and 23 days making him the youngest player ever to debut in the IPL. He broke the previous record held by Prayas Ray Barman, who debuted for RCB in 2019 at the age of 16 years and 157 days.
