The 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has become the most Indian cricketer not just in India but also across the world, thanks to his explosive batting and fearless strokeplay in the IPL 2026. His record-breaking IPL season, where he amassed 776 runs and became the youngest Orange Cap winner, led to his selection to the India T20I squad for the Ireland and England tours.
However, Sooryavanshi’s much-anticipated international debut has been put on indefinite hold by the team management, as they are backing the current opening combination of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma. The young batter was benched across both T20Is against Ireland and wasn’t included in the playing XI for the 1st T20I against England in Durham.
Before the tour of the UK with the senior Indian T20I squad, Sooryavanshi played for India A in the ODI Tri-Nation series, where he amassed 211 runs, including a 94-run blitz against Sri Lanka A in the final.
