A Dream Fulfilled: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi On Team India Selection
If he appears against either Ireland or England, Sooryavanshi could become the youngest ever international cricketer for India at 15, surpassing the great Sachin Tendulkar's record of 16 years and 205 days.
New Delhi: Teenaged batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi says getting selected in the Indian T20 squad is the "biggest step" of his nascent career so far, and he does not have words to describe how it feels. The 15-year-old was included in the India squad for the tours of Ireland and England starting June 26 after a stellar run in the IPL 2026, where he scored 776 runs for Rajasthan Royals at a strike rate of over 230.
Sooryavanshi said he deeply cherishes the moment he unboxed his India T-shirt with his name imprinted on the back."I just felt it like a dream, the moment I saw that T-shirt. I couldn't stop smiling," he said.
"Sometimes, something happens that you never even imagined could happen and when it finally does, you don't know how to react. That's exactly what I felt," he beamed.
