Vaibhav Sooryavanshi may debut: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s debut from India will be on the tour of Ireland or the fans will have to wait till the series against England. The answer to this lies only with coach Gautam Gambhir and the team management. Whenever this player comes on the field, a record will be made. After Prithvi Shaw, Vaibhav will be the youngest player to play for India.
Vaibhav will make a record of debut at a young age! Which youth played last
New Delhi. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who made a splash for India A after the Indian Premier League and Under-19, is standing very close to a historic milestone in Indian cricket. If these young batsmen become part of the playing XI against Ireland on Friday, they will create history. The record of youngest debut for India in international cricket will be registered in his name. Sachin Tendulkar’s record, which has been maintained for more than three decades, will be broken.
Vaibhav’s age is currently 15 years 91 days. When Sachin made his debut against Pakistan in 1989, his age was 16 years and 205 days. Vaibhav has been selected after his brilliant performance in IPL 2026 for Rajasthan Royals and Under 19 cricket. Vaibhav scored 776 runs in 16 innings this season. That too with an astonishing strike rate of 237.30. He was the highest run scorer of the tournament. After this, he further impressed the selectors in the India A Tri-Series held in Sri Lanka. Against Sri Lanka A, he played a stormy inning of 94 runs in just 29 balls. By completing his half-century in just 11 balls, he made the record for the fastest fifty in List A cricket history.
If Vaibhav takes the field on Friday, he will be the first young player to make his international debut for India after Prithvi Shaw. Shaw made a explosive start by scoring a century on his Test debut against West Indies in October 2018. Then his age was 18 years 369 days.
Will Vaibhav Suryavanshi debut with the senior team?
Curiosity about Vaibhav Suryavanshi is continuously increasing, but Team India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has said to exercise restraint regarding his immediate entry in the playing XI. Kotak believes that Vaibhav should definitely get a chance, but not by excluding any in-form batsman. Talking to reporters a day before the match, Kotak said that it would not be right to drop a player who is consistently performing well just to make money on Vaibhav.
