Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Becomes Youngest-Ever India Men’s Team Selection at 15

At just 15 years and 71 days old, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has scripted history by becoming the youngest player ever selected for the Indian men’s cricket team, surpassing a long-standing record previously held by Sachin Tendulkar. The teenage sensation has been named in India’s squad for the upcoming T20I tours of Ireland and England.

Sooryavanshi’s rise comes after a remarkable IPL 2026 campaign with the Rajasthan Royals, where he emerged as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player and Orange Cap winner. The explosive left-handed opener amassed 776 runs in 16 innings at a staggering strike rate of 237.3, while smashing 72 sixes — surpassing Chris Gayle’s record for the most sixes in a single IPL season.

Renowned for his fearless batting and composure beyond his years, the youngster has already drawn praise from cricket greats including Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara for his tactical maturity and ability to thrive under pressure.

As Vaibhav gears up for his first international challenge, Indian cricket fans eagerly await the next chapter in the journey of one of the sport’s brightest young talents.
