India’s youngest IPL star, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, continues to impress on his first tour of England with a string of stellar all-round performances for the India U-19 team.
Already a sensation after being picked by Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.10 crore in IPL 2025, Vaibhav is proving his worth overseas. With consistent contributions across ODIs and Tests, the left-hander is grabbing headlines for his maturity and talent well beyond his years.
Match Earnings So Far
As per BCCI guidelines, India U-19 players receive ₹20,000 per day as match fees — applicable only if they’re part of the playing XI, which Vaibhav has consistently been.
- 5 ODIs = ₹1,00,000
- 1 Four-Day Test = ₹80,000
- Total (so far) = ₹1.8 lakh
With one more Test remaining, he is expected to earn another ₹80,000 — taking his projected total to ₹2.6 lakh from the England tour alone.
On-Field Performances
Vaibhav’s batting highlights from the 5-match ODI series:
- 48, 45, 86, 143, and 33 runs
In the ongoing Test match:
- Scores of 14 and 56, along with 2 wickets
Across formats so far:
- 265 runs in 8 T20s at a strike rate of 207.03
- 132 runs in 6 List A matches
- 100 runs in 5 first-class innings
With at least two more innings likely in the remaining Test, Vaibhav will be eager to finish strong.
Rising Profile
Besides match earnings, Suryavanshi’s estimated net worth has already touched ₹2 crore, driven by his IPL deal and rising fame. As the youngest-ever cricketer in IPL history, he’s quickly becoming one of Indian cricket’s most exciting prospects.
