The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been a breeding ground for young talent, with several prodigies making their mark at an early age. Over the years, a handful of teenagers have stunned the cricketing world by scoring half-centuries in the tournament, proving their ability to perform under pressure.
In IPL 2025, Vaibhav Suryavanshi created history by becoming the youngest player ever to score a fifty in the league. The 14-year-old Rajasthan Royals batter smashed a 17-ball half-century against Gujarat Titans, breaking the previous record held by Riyan Parag.
