At just 14, Vaibhav Suryavanshi from Tajpur village in Bihar's Samastipur district has become a household name in Indian cricket. After a stunning debut in IPL 2025 for Rajasthan Royals, and now being selected for the India U-19 team’s England tour, many are curious about the life and home of this rising star.
🏠 A Simple Yet Inspiring Home
Vaibhav lives in a modest two-storey house in Motipur (Tajpur block), built by his grandfather. There’s no use of marble or tiles, and no signs of luxury interiors. The house reflects rural simplicity, with basic amenities and a close-knit joint family living under one roof — including his parents, grandmother, uncle, and siblings.
Despite the simplicity, the house is full of dreams, discipline, and determination — the real foundation behind Vaibhav’s success.
🏏 A Backyard That Birthed a Prodigy
What the house lacks in modern finish, it makes up for in purpose:
- Next to the house is a cricket net installed by Vaibhav’s father, where he began training at the age of 4.
- Early mornings, tennis balls, and father-son drills laid the groundwork for the young batter’s sharp technique and powerful strokes.
- There’s also a parking shed beside the house, which shelters a Scorpio car used by Vaibhav’s father — a former journalist with “Press” marked on the vehicle.
🌟 Making History in the IPL
- Debut: 19 April 2025 vs Lucknow Super Giants — became the youngest-ever IPL player at 14 years and 23 days.
- Century: 28 April 2025 vs Gujarat Titans — scored a blistering 101 off 38 balls, including 11 sixes and 7 fours. This made him the youngest cricketer ever to score a century in any major format.
🔜 What’s Next for Vaibhav?
He’s now headed to England with India’s U-19 squad — a major step in what could become a golden career in Indian cricket.
