Summary
In two weeks, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 14-year-old from Rajasthan, became one of the youngest cricketers to play professionally, hitting a century and making waves in the IPL—a league he was previously considered too small for. Yet his rise has been anything but smooth; an old interview claim has thrown a wrench into his otherwise perfect start, with his IPL debut ending in a duck despite his young age. Yet despite controversy, Suryavanshi's potential is undeniable, with opportunities and praise pouring in from corners as varied as politics to sports. At just 14, he’s already making waves, proving that talent at such an early stage can indeed change lives dramatically.
