3 jugadores más jóvenes en la historia de la IPL

The IPL has an ideal platform for several young cricketers to show their talent in front of the world. Over the years, IPL has produced many young talents who have gone on to become big stars for their national team. Recently, Vaibhav Suryavanshi from Bihar became the youngest player in IPL history. Meanwhile, let us take a look at the top 3 youngest players in IPL history.

3 Youngest players in IPL history

Vaibhav Suryavanshi (13 years, 243 days)

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, at the age of 13 years and 243 days, became the youngest player in IPL history when the Rajasthan Royals snapped him up for Rs 1.1 crore at the 2025 auction. Suryavanshi’s story is pure magic. He debuted in the Ranji Trophy at just 12, making him one of the youngest to ever play First-Class cricket. But that’s not all—Vaibhav smashed 104 off 62 balls in a Youth Test against Australia earlier this year, becoming the youngest centurion in cricket history.

Allah Gazanfar (15 years, 161 days)

At just 15 years and 161 days, Allah Gazanfar entered the IPL 2023 auction but didn’t find a buyer. Fast forward to 2024, and the Kolkata Knight Riders brought him in as a replacement for Mujeeb-ur Rahman. And if that wasn’t enough, the Mumbai Indians has now bagged him at the IPL 2025 auction for a whopping ₹4.80 crore. This is truly a dream come true for someone who couldn’t even get a visa to join MI as a net bowler a year ago.

Prayas Ray Barman

(16 years)

Prayas Ray Barman was just 16 when Royal Challengers Bengaluru bet big on him in the IPL 2019 auction by picking him up for a massive Rs 1.5 crore. That made him one of the youngest players to ever bag an IPL contract. He debuted against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 31, 2019, and became the youngest player to step onto the IPL field. It wasn’t the dream debut he might’ve hoped for he gave away 56 runs in his four overs and scored a scratchy 19 runs with the bat.
