Vaibhav became the youngest-ever centurion in IPL history, scoring a blistering 101 off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans, marking a new milestone.
Born in Samastipur, Bihar, Vaibhav’s journey started with his father’s sacrifices — selling land to fund his cricket training and support his dreams.
Before IPL fame, Vaibhav impressed with a triple-century in a local Bihar tournament, displaying his exceptional potential at a young age.
In 2024, Vaibhav scored a 58-ball century against Australia U-19s, the fastest by an Indian in youth Tests, and the second-fastest globally.
Vaibhav made a mark in domestic cricket, debuting in the Ranji Trophy at 12 and scoring 151 & 76 in the Cooch Behar Trophy.
At just 13 years and 243 days, Vaibhav became the youngest player ever bought at an IPL auction, joining Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.1 crore.
Vaibhav’s IPL debut was nothing short of thrilling: he smashed his first ball for six, scoring a rapid 34 off 20 balls and announcing his arrival.
Vaibhav scored a century off just 35 balls, setting records as the youngest centurion and second-fastest ever.
Cricket greats like Tendulkar & Yuvraj have praised Vaibhav for his fearless approach & explosive batting, with Rahul Dravid also hailing his talent.
At just 14, Vaibhav has shattered records and captured the nation’s heart. He’s poised to be the next cricket superstar, with a bright future ahead.
