Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a promising cricketer from Bihar, has become the youngest player to be included in the IPL auction list.
BCCI has announced the full list of players who will be going under the hammer in Jeddah on November 24 and 25. The new cycle of the Indian Premier League will emerge with the mega auction and a total of 574 players have been shortlisted for the two-day event.

Suryavanshi, who was born on March 27, 2011, is the youngest player to make the shortlist. His birth coincided with India's memorable World Cup victory under MS Dhoni. Hailing from Tajpur village in Samastipur district, his journey into cricket began at a young age.
His father played a pivotal role in nurturing his passion for cricket. He not only coached him initially but also facilitated his training by taking him to Patna for better opportunities. Local coaches Manas Jha and Robin Singh further refined his skills.
Suryavanshi's dedication to Bihar cricket is unwavering despite offers to switch states. He remains committed to representing Bihar in the Ranji Trophy. In a recent match against Madhya Pradesh, he scored 41 runs in the second innings. He has also been picked up in India U19 squad for the upcoming U19 Asia Cup.

Suryavanshi idolizes Brian Lara but has drawn inspiration from former Indian batter Wasim Jaffer. His style of play reflects a blend of these influences, showcasing both flair and technique on the field.
Despite being only 12 years old, Suryavanshi has demonstrated remarkable maturity and composure - and his selection in the IPL auction shortlist is a testament to his talent.
