Vaibhav Suryavanshi IPL 2025 Auction Team, History, Price: ‘It’s not just an investment, it’s a big investment, what can I tell you? We have even sold our lands, but the situation has not improved at all. Now he is not just our Bituwa, he is the Bituwa of all of Bihar.
These words are from Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s father, Sanjeev Suryavanshi. Vaibhav has created history in the mega auction of IPL 2025. He was just 13 years and 243 days old on November 25, so Rajasthan Royals listed him for Rs 1.10 crore. Vaibhav’s father Sanjeev Suryavanshi said that he sacrificed a lot of things for his son. He said: I even sold my land.
Sanjeev seemed very excited after Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s IPL auction. He said he sold his agricultural land to fulfill his 10-year-old son Vaibhav’s cricket dream. But perhaps Father Sanjeev had no idea that within three years his son would make history.
At the age of 13 years and eight months (13 years and 243 days), Vaibhav became the youngest cricketer picked up by a franchise when Rajasthan Royals bought him for Rs 1.10 crore on the second and final day of the IPL mega auction in Jeddah.
Sanjeev, who owns agricultural land in his native village Motipur, 15 kilometers from Samastipur city in Bihar. Sanjeev told PTI: Now he is not just our Bituwa (son), but the son of entire Bihar. Vaibhav is currently in Dubai for the U-19 Asia Cup.
He remembered the days of difficulties. My son has worked hard. At 8 years old he performed well in the U-16 District Test. I used to take him to Samastipur to coach cricket and then bring him back.
When asked about the controversy over Vaibhav’s actual age, which many believe to be 15, the father immediately provided clarity. He said: When he was 8 and a half years old, he had undergone the BCCI bone test for the first time. He has already played Under-19 for India. We are not afraid of anyone. You will be able to undergo the ‘age test’ again.
Vaibhav was fond of cricket since childhood. Vaibhav was born in Motipur of Samastipur district. From the age of five, his father Sanjeev started doing Vaibhav’s practice network. For this, Vaibhav’s father had a network installed at home. Vaibhav then joined the Samastipur Cricket Academy. After this, Vaibhav received training from Manish Ojha at Jesus Academy, Patna.
Said thanks to the president of BCA…
During this, Sanjeev thanked Rakesh Tiwari, president of the Bihar Cricket Association (BCA). He said that he had always helped Vaibhav in his journey.
BCA President Tiwari said: This achievement of Vaibhav Suryavanshi at such a young age fills us with great pride. He said: His journey from Bihar to IPL is a mirror of his talent and hard work.
The Bihar Cricket Association has always believed in promoting young talent and Vaibhav’s success shows the potential of cricket in our state. We are sure that he will continue to shine and inspire aspiring cricketers in Bihar and beyond. I congratulate Vaibhav and his family.
