Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old batting talent from Bihar, has been selected for India's T20 squad for upcoming matches against Ireland and England. This selection positions him to potentially become the youngest player to represent the Indian men's cricket team, breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record of debuting at 16 years and 205 days in 1989. Sooryavanshi's remarkable rise in cricket has been highlighted by his outstanding performance in IPL 2026, where he emerged as the leading run-scorer with 776 runs in 16 matches, including a century and five half-centuries. His impressive strike rate of 237.30 and record of 72 sixes in a single T20 tournament further solidified his status. Earlier this year, he was also named Player of the Tournament at the Under-19 World Cup. His rapid ascent has led to his inclusion in the 30 probables for India's squad for the Asian Games later this year in Japan. The T20 squad for the upcoming series includes players like Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, and Jasprit Bumrah.
