Indian teen sensation Suryavanshi ends debut season with impressive half-century
Published: 3:12pm, 21 May 2025 Vaibhav Suryavanshi's fairy tale debut season began with a first-ball six last month and ended with a scintillating half-century on Tuesday as the 14-year-old continues to justify the hype around him in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Rajasthan Royals were unable to make the playoffs but finished their campaign on a winning note against Chennai Super Kings thanks to Suryavanshi's 57 off 33 balls. The left-handed batter finished his campaign with 252 runs from seven matches with a strike rate of 206.55 – the highest by any batter this season. 'I don't have words for him,' Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson said. 'Today in the middle overs, he smartly picked his scoring options. He did not swing at every ball. He was waiting for the left-arm spinners. It shows how smart he is.' Suryavanshi's talent and ability to read the game make him a long-term prospect for an India side heading into an era without stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma following their test retirements.
