BENGALURU - Shy schoolboy Vaibhav Suryavanshi is in dreamland at just 14, having become the youngest player in Indian Premier League (IPL) history and marking the occasion with an audacious first-ball six.
The fearless young left-hander is being touted as a superstar in the making after his instant impact opening the batting for Rajasthan Royals on April 19, when he scored 34 off 20 balls against Lucknow Super Giants in Jaipur, including three sixes and two fours.
He finished on the losing side but stole the limelight as, at 14 years and 23 days old, he made his debut for Rajasthan after being bought for US$130,500 (S$171,000) in November's player's auction when he was still only 13.
An explosive batter, who can also bowl spin, Suryavanshi comes from India's poorest state, Bihar, and his father is a farmer and part-time journalist, reported Indian media.
