On Day 2 of the IPL 2025 mega auction, history was created when Vaibhav Suryavanshi was selected by Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.1 crore at an age of just 13 years and 243 days, the youngest player ever to play in the IPL. Amidst all the buzz surrounding him, it raises very serious questions about his true age with an old interview that has re-surfaced today. After the semi-final match between Darbhanga and Samastipur in Benipatti Premier League on April 6, 2023, Vaibhav gave an interview to BNN News Benipatti in which he said that he would turn 14 on September 27. According to this statement, his age till now would be 15 years and 60 days as of the IPL auction. In the same interview, Vaibhav has declared his birthday as September 27.

This led people to speculate on potential age fraud. Cricket fans and pundits are questioning now how such inconsistencies were overlooked while verifying the players. The IPL management and Rajasthan Royals have yet to comment on the allegations. If the accusations prove to be true, it would significantly impact Vaibhav's young cricketing career. Age fraud in cricket is a very sensitive topic; it goes to the issue of fairness at all competitions and raises integrity questions. Vaibhav Suryavanshi still remains a part of the Rajasthan Royals but this selection did bring history to the very gates of the IPL. But a video resurfacing does cast a shadow on his achievement. Fans are awaiting some clarification on this.
