What happened in Nagpur that Rahul Dravid became kind to Vaibhav Suryavanshi? Father told inside story – what happened in Nagpur that Rahul Dravid became fan of Vaibhav Suryavanshi father told inside story of IPL auction

New Delhi: A big record has been made in the IPL 2025 auction. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, just 13 years old player from Bihar, has been bought by Rajasthan Royals. This franchise, which gives a platform to young players, has included the youngest player in the history of the tournament. This left-handed batsman has been bought by Rajasthan Royals at a price of Rs 1.10 crore. There was competition among the franchises for this player with a base price of Rs 30 lakh. However, in the end the victory went to Rajasthan. Suryavanshi, a resident of Samastipur, Bihar, recently caught everyone’s attention by becoming the youngest batsman to score an international century. He achieved this feat by scoring 104 runs on 62 balls in the Youth Test played for India Under-19 against Australia Under-19 in Chennai. His century, scored off just 58 balls, was the fastest by an Indian in the Youth Test and the second fastest globally. Earlier this year, Suryavanshi made headlines when he made his Ranji Trophy debut for Bihar at the age of just 12, becoming the youngest player to feature in India’s premier first-class tournament.

The question that is in everyone’s mind about Vaibhav is that what is there in him that Rahul Dravid had completely lagged behind. This was a bit of a surprise for everyone. When Vaibhav’s father was asked about this, he told the inside story. He told that Rajasthan Royals had called him to Nagpur for trials. Batting coach Vikram Rathore gave him a match situation, in which the son hit 3 sixes and scored 17 runs in one over. He hit a total of 8 sixes and 4 fours in the trial. Right now he just wants to play cricket. Some time ago she liked Doraman.

It is noteworthy that when Rajasthan Royals bought Vaibhav in the auction, there was joy on the face of former Indian coach and former captain Rahul Dravid. It seemed that even after being bought for Rs 1.1 crore, he had become cheap for the team. Well, now what remains to be seen is whether Vaibhav makes his IPL debut in 2025 or Rahul Dravid makes his debut in 2026 after working on him.
