Born on 27 March 2011 in Bihar, Vaibhav has shown a lot of potential at such a young age. In January 2024, he made his first-class debut for Birrah at the age of just 12 years and 284 days, making him the youngest player to achieve the feat.
Vaibhav has also impressed on the international stage, recently being a part of India U19’s match against Australia in Chennai, where he scored a brilliant century in 58 balls. In five first-class matches, Vaibhav has scored 100 runs with a highest score of 41.
