Many big-name players bagged huge prize money in the mega auction of IPL 2025. Indian players broke the record of the most expensive player in IPL history many times on the first day, but in the end Rishabh Pant won. Pant was acquired by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for Rs 27 crore. Pant grabbed the headlines during the mega-sale on day one and on day two, the 13-year-old’s name was the most discussed. The player was none other than Vaibhav Suryavanshi and there was a fierce competition between various teams to buy him, but in the end, Rajasthan Royals (RR) managed to win. Rajasthan included Vaibhav in their team for Rs 10 lakh.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s base price is only Rs 30 lakh, but his net worth is nearly four times higher. In this way, 13-year-old Vaibhav became the youngest player to be sold in the IPL auction. No such young player has been purchased in the IPL auction before. In this way, Vaibhav’s name became famous at the auction.
Rajasthan Royals’ Cropati fails
Fans and his team had high hopes from Vaibhav Suryavanshi after becoming a millionaire in the IPL mega auction 2025, but all these expectations were shattered in the first match of the U-19 Asia Cup. In fact, India played Pakistan in the first match of the ACC Men’s Under-19 Asia Cup. Batting first, Pakistan scored 281 runs in 50 overs and lost seven wickets, including a record-breaking innings of 159 by Shahzeb Khan. In response to this scoreline for Pakistan, Ayush Mhat and Vibhav Suryavansh came on to start the Indian innings but were soon back in the pavilion.
India failed miserably with their opening pair
Ayush Mhatre returned to the pavilion after scoring just 20 points. Soon after, Vaibhav Suryavanshi also returned to the pavilion with a score of 1. Vaibhav faced 9 balls but could not score more than 1 run. Ali Raza made Waibhav his victim. Just like that, the millionaire player of Rajasthan Royals failed miserably in his first match.
