14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who stunned everyone with his batting for Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing IPL 2025,, also showed his prowess with the ball. In a video posted by RR on their social media, Vaibhav broke the stumps in half with his spin bowling during nets session ahead of RR’s upcoming clash against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on May 4.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi had a memorable outing in the ongoing IPL season so far. Playing his first game against Lucknow Super Giants, the young batter smashed a six on the very first ball of his IPL career. After that, he also became the youngest T20 centurion in cricket history with his 35-ball hundred against Gujarat Titans making him the second fastest centurion in the IPL. Now, the 14-year-old cricketing prodigy again grabbed the attention with his bowling that split the stumps into half.

He's a seriously talented player, but is still a kid: Shane Bond on Vaibhav Suryavanshi
RR bowling coach Shane Bond heaped praise on Vaibhav Suryavanshi for his phenomenal display of batting in IPL 2025 and also feels that the management has to be patient with him as he is still very young as a player. The former New Zealand pacer said that Suryavanshi has an license to express himself and can just go out and play.
"He's (Suryavanshi) sort of got a bit of a licence to go out and just play, which he's done an amazing job so far, really, for a 14-year-old," Shane Bond said in a press conference ahead of RR’ clash against KKR.
"I think the coaching staff haven't tried to complicate things too much with Vaibhave missed out in the last game, but for us, you don't really want to panic with someone so young." RR bowling coach further added.
