"In Pakistan, People Would've Said...': Rajasthan Royals' 14-Year-Old Star Receives Big Verdict

Rajasthan Royals' 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has impressed everyone with his performance in the IPL 2025. Suryavanshi slammed 34 off 20 deliveries against Lucknow Super Giants that included a brilliant six off Avesh Khan. It was an almost perfect start to his IPL career as he provided RR the perfect start and he has already received a lot of praise from both fans as well as experts. Former Pakistan cricket team star Basit Ali gave a mammoth verdict on Suryavanshi and said that he should receive support from the system and commented on the problems he would have faced in Pakistan.

"The 14-year-old kid, Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The way he smashed that first ball for six, it's a huge deal. Imagine what would have happened had he gotten out trying to hit the first ball for six? What would people have said? In Pakistan, people would have said, throw him out. But this is how confidence is given, which later pays off," Basit said on his YouTube channel.

Suryavanshi was bought by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 1.1 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction.

"Look at Abhishek Sharma. Look at Tilak Varma. Look at Jaiswal, Gill. They became big players after being given that confidence, that license to express themselves. And if they play with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, of course, they will become great players."

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old baby-faced cricketer with oodles of confidence and determination, on Saturday became the youngest player to feature in the Indian Premier League as he turned out for Rajasthan Royals against Lucknow Super Giants.

At just 14 years and 23 days, Suryavanshi was the darling of the crowd the moment he walked alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the Rajasthan Royals innings.
