Rahul Dravid gave statement regarding Vaibhav Suryavanshi

In the video released by the IPL, Rajasthan Royals head coach Rahul Dravid said, 'I think Vaibhav Suryavanshi has good skills and we felt that we can provide a good environment for his development. He came for our trial and we were very happy to see him.

Scored a century against Australia Under 19 team

Vaibhav recently scored a century (104 runs in 62 balls) in the Youth Test for India Under-19 team against Australia Under-19 team in Chennai and also became the youngest player to achieve this feat. He made his T20 debut for Bihar in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Rajasthan and scored 13 runs in 6 balls. Vaibhav, who was in the news on the junior circuit, has not yet played a big innings in first class cricket and has scored runs at an average of 10 in five matches.
Vaibhav made his debut against Mumbai in the 2023–24 Ranji Trophy season when he was 12 years 284 days old, making him the youngest player in the history of the tournament. At the age of 12, he played Vinoo Mankad Trophy for Bihar and scored close to 400 runs in five matches.
Father carried forward son's affection:

His father plays a big role in Vaibhav's cricketer career. Vaibhav had a deep love for cricket since childhood. Father Sanjeev Suryavanshi started making his son practice net from the age of five. To ensure that practice does not stop during the Corona period, a net was installed at home. After this Vaibhav took admission in the Cricket Academy of Samastipur. Gradually, with age, his skills improved and his training increased. Like every father, Sanjeev also dreams that his son plays international cricket for the Indian team.
