US EditionVaibhav Sooryavanshi likely for T20I tour to Ireland, to become youngest India player
- The selection panel is likely to pick 15-year-old Rajasthan Royals batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for the upcoming T20Is against Ireland in June. According to reports from The Indian Express, BCCI sources indicate he is under consideration following a standout performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League.
- With 200 runs in five innings, Sooryavanshi currently sits in third place in the IPL orange cap race. The left-hander has already recorded impressive scores of 78, 52, and 39 against top-tier bowling attacks this season.
- Describing his batting, Sooryavanshi said he focuses on the projectile rather than the bowler, a process reinforced by his guardian and Rajasthan Royals team manager Romi Bhinder. He has faced elite bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Josh Hazlewood with confidence.
- If selected, Sooryavanshi could become India's youngest male debutant, potentially breaking the long-standing record of Sachin Tendulkar. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan and IPL chairman Arun Dhumal have publicly urged selectors to fast-track the teenager into the national squad.
- Scheduled for June 26 and 28, the Ireland T20Is precede a July tour of England where India will play five T20Is and three ODIs. Selectors aim to provide the teenager international exposure before senior players return for the England series.
