15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi called up to India's T20 squad

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old batting sensation, has been called up to India's T20 squad for …
The Rise of a Young Sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old batting sensation, has been called up to India's T20 squad for the upcoming series against Ireland and England, the country's cricket board (BCCI) announced on Saturday. Sooryavanshi's Impressive IPL Campaign Sooryavanshi comes into the India squad fresh off a breakout campaign in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in which he topped the scoring charts with 776 runs, smashing a hundred and five half-centuries in 16 matches. He also broke Chris Gayle's record for most sixes in a season. A Historic Opportunity Should Sooryavanshi go on to make his debut against either Ireland or England, he would become the youngest player to represent an Indian men's senior team, bettering great Sachin Tendulkar, who made his debut aged 16. The Selection Process Selection panel chairman Ajit Agarkar praised Sooryavanshi, saying, 'We've seen what he can do, towards playoffs, almost single-handedly carried Rajasthan Royals. Not just this season, [he] had a great start, and to back it up in a competition that is as competitive and high-pressure, he's a game-changer.' Changes in the Squad The BCCI also announced that Shreyas Iyer will captain the T20 squad, replacing Suryakumar Yadav. Iyer was appointed after guiding Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL title in 2024. Upcoming Matches India play Ireland in two T20Is later this month, before a five-match series against England in July. The BCCI also named their squad for this year's men's cricket competition at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, which includes veteran bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
