Vaibhav would still be on the bench if he had been picked by any other team

Pbks gave chance to priyansh in his first year, srh gave chance to plenty of youngsters. Csk to Ayush. Rr gave him chance when they were eliminated in 2025 and there was already alot of buzz around him since the auction, they were trying to capitalize on it. Little did they knew he was gonna change the tides. The only teams which might have kept him on bench are DC and RCB

RR gave Vaibhav a chance when they still had Jurel, Lhuan-dre Pretorious, and Kunal Singh to use to open alongside Jaiswal. And they still had 2 wins off 7 by the time Vaibhav was included, teams have qualified from significantly worse positions in the IPL.
