IPL 2025: 14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Falls Early As Ajinkya Rahane Takes Spectacular Catch During KKR Vs RR Match; Video
In a dramatic start to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Eden Gardens on May 4, 14-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi was dismissed for just 4 runs off 2 balls.
The young opener's innings was cut short in the first over by KKR pacer Vaibhav Arora, who induced a mistimed shot that led to a remarkable catch by Ajinkya Rahane. Fielding at mid-wicket, Rahane showcased his agility and experience by sprinting backward to complete a stunning catch, setting the tone for the match.
Suryavanshi, who hails from Samastipur, Bihar, has been the talk of the tournament after becoming the youngest player to score a century in IPL history. His explosive 101 off 38 balls against Gujarat Titans on April 28 included 11 sixes and 7 fours, earning him accolades from cricket legends and fans alike. Despite today's early dismissal, the young left-hander's talent and potential remain undeniable.
As the match progresses, RR will look to recover from the early setback and capitalize on their batting depth, while KKR aims to maintain the pressure and secure a crucial victory in the league standings.
