Rajasthan Royals bought 13-year-old cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi from a small village in Bihar for Rs 1 crore. Vaibhav was the most talked about name on the final day of the IPL mega auction in Jeddah today. This is the youngest cricketer to be sold in an IPL auction. That too in crores of rupees.
It is understood that Vaibhav has not yet crossed the ladder of age-based cricket. But why did Rajasthan show so much interest in seeing him? This name has appeared several times in the Indian media for several days. A total of 49 centuries in different tournaments in one year 13 years of glory. Its base price in the auction was 30 lakhs. Delhi is also in the fight to get him with Rajasthan. However, Delhi stops at the price of up to 1 crore. Rajasthan got Vaibhav Suryavanshi by increasing another 10 lakhs.
At the age of 13, Vaibhav played in India's Under-19 Test team. Last month, he scored a 58-ball century against the Australia Under-19 team, the fastest in youth Test history. Perhaps Rajasthan felt this young man could do great things if he cared for him.
There is no good news for the cricket lovers of Bangladesh when there is such a shocking incident in the IPL auction. 13 cricketers of Bangladesh named in the IPL auction. Only the names of Mostafizur Rahman and Rishad Hossain were auctioned, but no team bought them. The names of Bangladeshi stars like Shakib-Litton did not appear in the auction.
