New Delhi, April 20 -- There are times when a match fades into oblivion because there's something greater at play. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)-Rajasthan Royals (RR) game was one of those and it was all down to the 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
At 14 years and 23 days, not only did he become the youngest ever to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) - breaking the record of Prayas Ray Barman who made his debut for RCB in 2019 at the age of 16 years and 157 days - he also smashed the first ball he faced for a six.
