Rajasthan Royals said they were confident 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi can make the step up to the Indian Premier League (IPL) after the batsman became the youngest player to earn a contract in the lucrative Twenty20 tournament.
Suryavanshi made his debut in the domestic Ranji Trophy red-ball competition aged 12 in January and played for India's Under-19 side against their Australian counterparts in September, scoring a 58-ball ton.
He has also scored a triple-century in a local tournament in his home state of Bihar.
Delhi Capitals also bid for Suryavanshi in the IPL auction but Rajasthan, coached by Rahul Dravid, secured his signature with a bid of 11 million Indian rupees ($130,517).
The 2025 IPL season begins on March 14. - Copyright Holder: ANI (India)
