14 -year -old Vaibhav Suryavanshi managed to leave his mark in IPL 2025. When Rajasthan Royals included him in his squad after spending a hefty amount of Rs 1.1 crore in the auction, only people understood that there is some special thing in this player, because the head coach of the team is Rahul Dravid. Everyone knows that no one else can cut new players better than Rahul Dravid. However, Rajasthan Royals did not give Vaibhav a chance in playing XI from the beginning. First, this player controlled his pulse by sitting in the dugout and understood the big platform of IPL and then as soon as he got a chance to play after half the season, he showed the whole world his talent.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi got a chance to play a total of 7 matches in IPL 2025 with 252 runs with a strike rate of 206.56. During this time he scored 1 century and a half -century. Vaibhav’s highest score was 101 runs. Vaibhav rained more than fours in these 7 matches. In 7 matches, he hit 18 fours, while 24 times he sent the ball out of the boundary directly.
Vaibhav’s stormy batting can be gauged from the fact that in terms of scoring the highest run rate in IPL 2025, explosive batsmen like Nicolas Puran and Abhishek Sharma were seen filling water in front of him.
Yes, Vaibhav’s strike rate was 206.56 this season, while Puran and Abhishek were asked in the list of at least 250 runs. Puran’s strike rate is from 197.82 this season while Abhishek of 192.26.

1. 206.55 – Vaibhav Suryavanshi (252 runs)

However, the real challenge in front of Vaibhav Suryavanshi will be of the next season. In IPL 2026, all teams will take a game plan against them. In such a situation, this young batsman will have to get on the field with more preparation and show continuity.
