Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old cricket prodigy, is set to make his international debut for India after the IPL 2026 season. He is expected to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record as the youngest-ever international debutant. Sooryavanshi’s impressive performances have caught the attention of selectors, with his inclusion in the squad for the upcoming tour of Ireland in June likely. The BCCI is facing pressure to fast-track his rise due to his dominant display in the IPL, where he has outperformed top-tier bowlers like Bumrah and Hazlewood.
In addition to Sooryavanshi, players like Shreyas Iyer and Rajat Patidar have also shone in the IPL, making strong cases for inclusion in the national team.
