IPL Sensation or Age Scam? 14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Sparks Firestorm of Controversy

Sports News: There was a panic in the cricket world when 14 -year -old Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored a century in just 35 balls in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The stormy innings of this left -handed young batsman surprised cricket fans around the world, now a controversy has arisen about his age.

Vijender Singh taunted

India's Olympic bronze medalist and veteran boxer Vijender Singh posted on the social media platform 'X' after watching Vaibhav's batting,"Brother, nowadays, they have started playing in cricket by shortening age."

This one line gave rise to debate. Some people agree with Vijender's words, but a large number of people are trolling him and praising Vaibhav's talent. Fans say -"Watch talent, not age!"

Why did questions arise on age?

Seeing Vaibhav Suryavanshi's height, body structure and powerful shots, many people are not ready to believe that he is just 14 years old. They have hit 90–90 meters long sixes, which are considered unusual at this age. But his age has been found to be correct in the official records of BCCI and he never came under any doubt in Edge Group Cricket.

Fraud in age is a big danger

The Cricket Board of India (BCCI) considers fraud as a very serious crime. If a player is found guilty in it, he may be banned up to two years.There are many such examples - unknown Bawne, Nitish Rana, Rasik Salaam, Manjot Kalra and Prince Yadav - who have had to face punishment due to age tampering in the past.

Bunty opinion in fans

After Vaibhav's record -breaking batting, two types of reactions are coming out on social media. On the one hand, there are people who are doubting their age, on the other hand there are fans to bind the bridges of praise of their talent. Some say that "When Sachin Tendulkar can make international debut at the age of 16, why not Vaibhav?"

Inappropriate to doubt talent 

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's stormy innings has brought him into the headlines. It is natural to raise questions about age, but as long as the official records are with him, it is unfair to doubt his talent. Time will tell where this teenage player takes Indian cricket in the coming days.
