Vaibhav Suryavanshi is one of the uncapped Indian players out of 318 uncapped players. While he is the 491st player in the mega auction list, he is the 69th player in the uncapped batter category (UBA9).

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has already experienced first-class cricket

At the age of 12 years and 284 days, Suryavanshi made his first-class debut. He was the second youngest player to make a first-class cricket debut in Indian cricket.
