WATCH: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi old video goes VIRAL after selection to Team India, RR opener wanted to…
An old video of Indian cricket’s teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has resurfaced after the 15-year-old became the youngest player ever to get picked in a senior Indian squad. Sooryavanshi was named in the 16-man squads for India’s upcoming white-ball tours of Ireland and England earlier today. The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s secretary Devajit Saikia and chief selector Ajit Agarkar appeared in front of the media to announce 4 different squads.
The squads for India’s T20Is in Ireland and England and Asian Games 2026 along with India A’s multi-day games side against Sri Lanka were announced together. There were two major talking points that came out from the announcement.
First is the removal of India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav who has been left out entirely from the touring squads of Ireland and England. Surya will be replaced by his fellow Mumbai statesman Shreyas Iyer who will make his return to the shortest format after nearly 3 years in the sidelines. He will assume full-time captaincy and also lead the national side in the upcoming Asian Games to be held later this year in Japan. Left-hand batter Tilak Varma has been appointed as the vice-captain.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s dream of representing the senior team is now a reality
5 months ago, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was asked to reflect on his future plans during the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup where the teenager was adjudged player of the tournament. The 15-year-old, who had smashed a breathtaking 175 off just 80 balls in India’s victory over England in the final, was adjudged player of the tournament for scoring 439 runs.
