As Vaibhav Sooryavanshi prepares to become the youngest player to represent India, former captain Sourav Ganguly has called for patience from fans and experts. The 15-year-old batting prodigy, who excelled in IPL 2026 with 776 runs, has earned his first call-up for the T20I tours of Ireland and England and the Asian Games in Japan.
