The likes of Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians were involved in a heated bidding war but finally, the Royals had the last laugh. Coming from Samastipur, Bihar, Vaibhav created history when he made his Ranji Trophy debut for Bihar back in the 2023-24 season against Mumbai. He made his debut when he was just 12 years and 284 days, becoming the youngest player in the tournament’s history. On the back of this feat, he broke records of Yuvraj Singh, who debuted at 15 years and 57 days, and Sachin Tendulkar, who started at 15 years and 230 days.



Earlier, the 13-year-old batter became the youngest player to hit a century in the 170-year history of competitive cricket. He also made a world record for the quickest hundred by an Indian at the youth level. The left-hand batter ended up collecting a century in just 58 balls, standing only behind England’s Moeen Ali, who achieved the feat in 56 balls.
