He recently created history by scoring a century in 35 balls. He is also the youngest and fastest Indian to score a century in IPL. But along with the game, his age is also under question. India's former legendary boxer Vijender Singh has raised questions on Vaibhav Suryavanshi's age. Meanwhile, a person on social media has made a big claim about Vaibhav's age.

Is Vaibhav Suryavanshi not 14 years old?

Questions have been raised earlier also on the age of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a resident of Tajpur, a small town in Samastipur district of Bihar. The biggest reason behind this is also an old interview of his, which is from the year 2023. Then he had told his birthday in September. In this interview, he also said that he will turn 14 in September. But in the document, his birth date is 27 March 2011. At the same time, now a video is becoming very viral on social media, in which 2 people are seen. Both these people are claiming themselves to be from Vaibhav Suryavanshi's village and are claiming that Vaibhav's real age is 16 years.

Childhood Friend Reveals the Truth

In this video, a person says that we are from Samastipur, Bihar. Vaibhav Suryavanshi used to play with him, he used to bowl to Vaibhav in the nets as well. Then this person says that the hard work is not done by Vaibhav but by his father. He used to take Vaibhav to Patna daily. He used to call us and make us bowl in the nets, after which he used to throw a party. In the video, this person further says that he is proud that a boy from Bihar is making a mark but the sad thing is that Vaibhav's age is being told as 14 years, it would have been more fun if his real age was told, his real age is 16 years. As soon as this video went viral, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has once again come under the scanner.

The bat did not work against Mumbai Indians

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's bat remained silent in the match played between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals on May 1. He could play only 2 balls in this match and lost his wicket after opening his account. Before this, he played his IPL debut match on April 19. Where he was successful in scoring 34 runs. After this, he played an innings of 16 runs against RCB, then scored a historic century against Gujarat. But he flopped against Mumbai.
