[PICTURES] Vaibhav Suryavanshi: The youngest cricketer ever to be chosen to play in the IPL

[RidiculousMan]

Really. Prove it.

Trust me bruh. Just like Indian fans on this forum

 

[RidiculousMan]

So you are saying Arafat Minhas must be 32?

Definitely. Don't you know the rule? Add +10 years to any Pakistani sportsman

 

[IronShield]

It's pretty much common knowledge that Pakistani U19s are almost always above their stated age, so its men vs boys.. Lets face it, the odds are pretty high on almost no one from Pakistan team turning out to be International quality in few years time when they start playing against men regularly in FC.

You do have eyes right? go and watch the faces of Pak U19 boys and then compare them with Ind U19 boys.

 

[Usman Chadda]

The salt from these Indians is touching unreal levels, which is ironic considering they have a blatant age-fudger themselves being hyped to the moon because of his age.

If his age was not a big deal, he would be considered just another one of those leg side tulles that are in abundance in world cricket at the moment.

That may have been the case previously, but it’s pretty obvious with this lot that they’re actual u19s, they actually pretty much look it

Two things can be true at one time.

Some Indian posters have been salty, but yesterday’s final doesn’t make Suryavanshi an overhyped player. The boy is an incredible talent with all the natural gifts. If he keeps his head on straight (never a guarantee), he’ll be a formidable player in the future.

Not these lot. Bar Danyal, who didnt play, they look young and in the age group.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yes India had this problem earlier. No wonder players like Unmukt Chand & Ambati Rayudu , Baba Aparajith never delivered in senior cricket. Last few years BCCI has cracked down on age frauds - which is why we are not winning Asia Cup u-19 any more

Thats why I take U-19 cricket with a lump of salt

Babar AParajith was actually young. He had a low ceiling. That is why he never delivered. He never had oomph factor in the first place. Prithvi shaw also fell away, Kambli fell away. Nothing to do with age. Lack of hard work. INdia has been cracking age frauds for a while. Manjot kalra by 2 months . Adjusted just enough to take part in u19 world cup. His career over for good. Was a good batsman. Most unregularted is in Pakistan , Bangladesh, Afghanistan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I noticed he's a bit stocky, someone at his age should be lean and fitter.

If you look at this pictures of him as a child he was stocky then. I think it is genetic. He has to spend time on it like Uthappa who had actual medical condition of slow metabolism.

Did his career end because he has been banned or career end because he waasn;t good enough?

Still, good from India to try to investigate and clamp down on this. I don't think fudging goes on too much in Pakistan anymore, there will be exceptions mainly from KPK region, not sure about Bangladesh or Afghanistan.

He wasn't picked by many teams. It is a black mark. I know it is not a terrible crime. Rahul Dravid was the coach of that team. He made suggestions to BCCI. One was No cricketer should play 2 Under-19 world cup. Since then BCCI has been following it. Often when the guy plays second world cup they are overage by a month or two. Effective from 2020 batch (Jaiswal, Tilak..). There are some guys from 2024 batch still young. india cannot play them regardless of what happened to them afterwards.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sometimes commentators incorrectly says the real age in the commentary. For instance Raghuvanshi was part of world cup winning side 2022. He was 17 then. But commies for some reason mistakenly kept saying 16 years old as h e had just turned 17 or something.

Ian Chappel called Baba Aparajith the 2nd best player of that U19 WC after Unmukt Chand. Both vanished without a trace

Prithvi Shaw - I have doubts whether he is age fraud bcoz initially he was very good even in seniors. He fell away more due to poor lifestyle

Shubman Gill & his sister have their birthdays separated by just 2 months. So pretty obvious age fudging

Abhishek Sharma is also age fraud by 2-3 years

 

[Rafale Nidhal Fan]

If you look at this pictures of him as a child he was stocky then. I think it is genetic. He has to spend time on it like Uthappa who had actual medical condition of slow metabolism.

u can be fat as a child. Slow metabolism is due to eating habits and diet.

Yea.. but they were good at that level. They were not really doing anything like GIll or Dhawan were doing. Gill's career was also tracked on social media. Abhishek was his child hood friendy since the age of 10 or something. They have records of that. No age fudging there. That was the year they cracked down and found Manjot Kalra was older by 2 months.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ayush Mhatre in the IPL looked slim and tiny. Look at him now. Very fat. Too much fast food.

 

[Rafale Nidhal Fan]

Also no way on earth this is a 14 year old lmao

 

[mazkhan]

Also suryavanshi has a very large muscular frame no 14 yr old has those sort of upper body mass

At the most 16 as we have images of him from 2 or 3 years back.

Looks around 18, and build and muscles also tell the same story. Either way it doesn't matter he is in the age range and he is hell of a talent.

No way he is 18. He looked proper 11 year old 2 or 3 years back picture.

No chance
I have been teaching for decades and I have not seen so much power and muscle on a 14 year old.

He is nto 18 either. He is at the most 16. Tendulkar smashed 4 sixes in row against Qadir at the age of 16 with those old bats.

 

[Rana]

That reaction wasn’t of a 16 year old

He’s a 20 year old for sure

 

[NishanKonar]

That reaction wasn’t of a 16 year old

He’s a 20 year old for sure

6 years age fudging nearly impossible in India - due to AADHAR records & school registration

At max he is 2-3 years overage

 

[The Bald Eagle]

That reaction wasn’t of a 16 year old

He’s a 20 year old for sure

No, the reaction was of a toddler whose candy has been stolen

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now grown adults are discussing about how legally under age kids should be behaving on cricket field lol Get over guys.

 

[Rana]

No, the reaction was of a toddler whose candy has been stolen

lol I mean it from a fight mode perspective

I don’t expect a 14-16 year old to point to his shoes like that in a fight.

At the end of the day, he took the same bus to the hotel and airport like his team mates did.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Based on action you cannot judge age with gen z kids. 11 year old girl made a prank call here and ended up with felony charge.

Wait what happened? He was pointing to his shoes to his teammates or other Pakistani players?

 

[ElRaja]

we'll find out in a few years, if hes really 14 he'll hit a late teen growth spurt and add on at least 2 or 3 inches to his height.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Hilarious video

 

[CricVet]

The best reply so far.
Boys' growth spurt start at around 14-16. Let's see what happens to his height. As of now, for South Asian gene, he is not only too big, but way too round from the bottom (bad diet/gene).

 

[hur rizvi]

Surya is definitely 17/18

IPL wanted to use his *13 year old* fake highness for marketing purposes

At that time (ipl selection) he most probably was 16. He was/is supremely talented but being 16 year old doesn’t make all and sundry stand up and take notice

 

[Bewal Express]

He is nto 18 either. He is at the most 16. Tendulkar smashed 4 sixes in row against Qadir at the age of 16 with those old bats.

Not with the power of this lad. He isnt 16, even the South African Rugby players at 16 would lack this power.

 

[jnaveen1980]

There are 25 year old who struggle to hit as well. That cannot be used as measurement. It was even analyzed in the IPL. He had this whippy follow through that generates power. It is a risky follow through as you can get out often. But that is where all the power comes from.

True but they dont pretend to be 13. He is an amazing talent but he aint no 13 or 14. Its not as if Ind( like us) doesn't have history in age faking. I remember well the U15 WC final from 1996 and overage India beat an overage PK team bar Bazid and a couple of other players. More recently Ambati Rayudu and Shivam Mavi had faked their ages

Saying he is 19 when his stated age is 14 is a bridge too far. We have seen picture from 3 years back. He looked like 11 year oldkid. If you look at Prithvi shaw he looked really young at school. He suddenly started aging faster. His whole career was tracked every year since shool days. Suddenly at 19 he looked like an old man. Bad diet, bad sleep management ruined his appearance. Vaibhav apparently has pretty bad diet much like US Kids looking so big even at 13.

This was early this year right after his 100 in 35 balls. Between this and now he has added a lot of weight. In 8 months significant weight.

We can objectively agree that Ali raza or past example Naseem shah are not their stated age.

Ali raza is probably 20/21 at the very least. Naseem shah was 20/21 as well when he debuted as a 16 year old.


Surya similarly clearly is around 17 and not a 14 year old. Those 2.5/3 years made him marketable in IPL same as 16 year old Naseem was made marketable by PCB as a sensation who could bowl 145+ at 16.


In case of Naseem too there were photos and videos predating his psl and international debut but those don’t make him any less of an age fudger

Hasan raza was 10 year old at debut of surya is 14

I don't deny Vaibhav is probably not 14. HE is most likely 16. Cannot be more than that. worst case 17. Because he looked so tiny in a pic that was released few years before. He is with his father in 2017 IPL as a fan of Rising pune supergiants. He was 7 year old then.

You are judging him as if he already has 5 years of experience in international cricket. He is basically a bachha in cricket currently. Let him learn with time.​

 

[sweep_shot]

First of all, I do not think he is 14. He looks 18. I suspect age-fudging.

Second of all, he is overrated. He was ordinary in the emerging Asia Cup and also in U-19 Asia Cup.

Thirdly, he has a very bad attitude. Then again, most Indians have bad attitudes.

Shahid Afridi has close to 400 ODI wickets and over 8000 ODI runs.

THis was SUryavanshi's performance in ODI tour to ENgland. You guys have not really seen him in youth tests or ODIs . YOu go around making fun of him. This thread will become a highly bumpable thread in the near future.

Afridi dominated India many times (including that Kanpur innings).

I saw cricket throughout the 90's to know that Afridi was a player who helped his team lose countless matches because of his reckless batting and irresponsible attitude. For every success he had, he compensated it with 20 odd failures. The worst player among all those who played 200 ODI matches or more. A below average bowler, a pathetic, irresponsible slogger.

Try brainwashing the modern generation youngsters who missed cricket in the 90's.​

Or 2011 Mohali semi final when he hit a nice juicy full toss straight to fielder

I think he is overrated. Just check his performance in U-19 Asia Cup and Emerging Asia Cup.

These new Indian youngsters aren't as good as their previous generation. They are unlikely to turn into Kohli, Rohit, Pujara etc.

 

[pakistani pride]

Said it earlier and will say it again. He’s a hack and is nowhere near international quality.

The shot that he got dropped on was not even club level.

With this technique, he’s not getting anywhere near international level.

WHat denial dude. Vast majority of the fake age records are with pakistan historically. Right on the screen it said 21 when Afridi walked in. Yet he is holding record youngest centurian or something. THere are enough photos available since childhood days. May be 1 or 2 years at the most. Even 16 is a very young age.

Yes it doesn't matter. He has about 4 or 5 years to polish his game even if he is 16. India has had a lot of so precocious talents. But sometimes some unknown kid surge ahead of this talent and suddenly start making news. Abhishek is case in point. Was a nobody in under-19 world cup. prithvi shaw was his captain. Abhishek is sitting with 14 crore annual IPL contract. Shaw not even picked. Hardwork, discipline take you where you have to go. No just the talent.

He is an amazing talent but he is a little older, however that matters little as he still has to perform,And With his talent he will do that.
Inds and PKs are obsessed with records and this is part of that narrative. You think he is 14, I think he is around 18. Neither of our opinions matter

 

[CricVet]

Unless someone is born in a remote area of Pakistan, it has become almost impossible to change DOB in Pak since the records are sent to NADRA. I have no idea how it works in Ind.

Age related frauds have a far less likelihood in Pakistan than some years ago.

It is not possible in the last 20 years or so here. If you ask DOB certificat you have to procure from the hospital where you born Some states like Bihar may be exception. In South states it is literally impossible. Even before this clamping down. Also BCCI is very strict about age verification. One guy's career ruined because of that after he was caught he was overage by 2 months.

I guess at the end of the day everybody is accepting that he is u-19.

India don't let players play multiple u-19 cups anyway so this kid won't be playing at this level for too long regardless.
