Why did BCCI examine Vaibhav Suryavanshi's bones? Rajasthan Royals bought him for Rs 1.10 crore in IPL 2025 auction.

The mega auction of IPL 2025 is over. Many new faces were seen in this auction, one of which was Bihar's son Vaibhav Suryavanshi. 13-year-old Vaibhav has become the youngest crorepati in IPL history. He has been bought by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 1.10 crore. The interesting thing was that the same teams were seen fighting for Vaibhav, who had taken his trial, in the auction. However, in the end, Rajasthan won the bid to buy him by defeating Delhi Capitals. Now the question is why did BCCI examine Vaibhav Suryavanshi's bones?

BCCI had done bone testing of Vaibhav Suryavanshi

13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a tall player. Seeing him, there is a question about his age. This question deepened in people's minds when in an interview given in the year 2023, he said that he would be 14 years old by 27 September 2023. To clear this confusion about age, when TV9 Hindi spoke to his coach Manish Ojha, he said that BCCI had done his bone testing.

What did Vaibhav's coach say to TV9 Hindi about his age?

According to Vaibhav Suryavanshi's coach Manish Ojha, BCCI is not concerned with the age of the certificate. It conducts medical tests on the player. It finds out the age by getting his bone testing done and gives recognition to that only. According to him, BCCI had done Vaibhav's bone testing when he was 9 years old. In the bone testing, his age was one year more i.e. around 10 years 2 months, or 4 months. He said that the age that Vaibhav had told in the interview in the year 2023 must have been told on the basis of the age of bone testing.

Manish Ojha has been coaching Vaibhav Suryavanshi since he was 8 and a half years old. In a conversation with TV9 Hindi, he further said that Vaibhav's body structure is such that he looks a little older than his age. But when you look at him closely, you will realize that he hasn't even grown a mustache yet.

According to his age, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is associated with a good franchise, which focuses on developing and grooming young players. Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Riyan Parag are the stars who have shone by playing IPL for Rajasthan. It is expected that in the coming time, Vaibhav Suryavanshi's name will also be added to that list.
