Ravi Shastri, former coach of the Indian cricket team, has expressed strong support for 15-year-old batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, urging selectors to fast-track him into the senior T20 team. Sooryavanshi has made headlines with his performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, where he scored 440 runs in 11 innings at an impressive strike rate of 236.56. His standout moment came with a blazing 36-ball century against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and he currently leads the league with 40 sixes. Shastri believes that Sooryavanshi's fearless batting style makes him a strong candidate for international cricket, stating, “The door would be three-fourths open,” for his inclusion. He suggested that the upcoming tour of Ireland in June would be an excellent opportunity for the young talent to make his debut, regardless of his age. Additionally, Sooryavanshi has earned a call-up to the India A team for a tri-series in Sri Lanka, further highlighting his rapid rise in the cricketing world.
