3 Youngest Players In IPL History : The excitement about IPL 2025 has increased further. This time all 10 teams will be seen with many new players. Before the start of the tournament, the two-day mega auction has ended in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and some teams are now desperate to stake their claim for the trophy with a new coach and captain. At the same time, in this IPL auction, 13 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi from Bihar created history. Vaibhav has become the youngest player in IPL history. In such a situation, let us know about the three youngest players in IPL history.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi
13 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi from Bihar became the youngest player to join any IPL team and was bought by Rajasthan Royals in the mega auction for Rs 1 crore ten lakh. The base price of Suryavanshi in the auction was Rs 30 lakh and Delhi Capitals made the first bid. Rajasthan bought this player by defeating Delhi. Suryavanshi recently scored a century in the youth test for India Under 19 team against Australia Under 19 team in Chennai and he also became the youngest player to achieve this credit. Suryavanshi had scored 104 runs in 62 balls in that match.
Allah Ghazanfar
Afghanistan cricket’s Allah Ghazanfar has become the second youngest cricketer in IPL history. At the age of just 15 years and 161 days, he entered the IPL 2023 auction but found no takers. But in 2024, KKR included him in the team in place of Mujeeb. At the same time, now in the IPL auction, Mumbai Indians bought him for Rs 4.8 crore and included him in their team. Allah Ghazanfar is now 18 years old. Allah Ghazanfar, who created a stir among the batsmen with his mystery ball, will now be seen playing for Mumbai Indians. This is truly a dream come true for a player who could not even get a visa to join MI as a net bowler a year ago. Till now Allah Ghazanfar has taken 12 wickets in 8 ODIs.
Prayas Ray Barman
Prayas Ray Barman was only 16 years old when Royal Challengers Bangalore made a big bet on him by paying him a huge sum of Rs 1.5 crore in the IPL 2019 auction. In this way he became one of the youngest players to get an IPL contract. He made his debut on March 31, 2019 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and became the youngest player to step onto the IPL field. It was not the dream debut he would have expected – he conceded 56 runs in his four overs and scored just 19 runs with the bat. Unfortunately, his IPL journey did not last long, as RCB released him before the 2020 season. His domestic performance with Bengal was also not very good and he soon went off the radar.
