At Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium, the 36th IPL 2025 match between the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is presently in progress. After winning the toss, LSG captain Rishabh Pant chose to bat first, giving the home team a difficult 180-run target.
Due to an injury he acquired in the previous game against the Delhi Capitals (DC), RR faced a significant setback as their captain, Sanju Samson, was unable to play. Vaibhav Suryavanshi was added by RR as their Impact Substitute in order to add depth to their batting lineup. He replaced Sandeep Sharma as an Impact Player.
At barely 14 years and 23 days old, the 14-year-old prodigy made IPL history by being the youngest player to make their debut.
Prayas Ray Barman, who played for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) versus Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in 2019 at the age of 16 years and 157 days, was previously the youngest player to participate in the IPL.
LSG had earlier amassed a respectable 180 runs in their 20 overs. Ayush Badoni made a vital 50 off 34 deliveries, while Aiden Markram led the innings with a cool 66 off 45 balls. At the very end, Abdul Samad delivered spectacular fireworks by hitting 30 runs off just 10 balls, including four sixes. Wanindu Hasaranga was the standout bowler for RR, taking two wickets in his four overs.
Now, with a sizable home crowd supporting them, RR will try to catch up to the target and earn a vital victory.
