India's batting coach Sitanshu Kotak discussed the potential debut of 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who could become the youngest Indian international cricketer, ahead of the T20I series against Ireland. Kotak emphasized balancing opportunities for new talent with fairness to performing players.
15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is set to become India's youngest international cricketer, potentially debuting against Ireland in Belfast. He has impressed across age-group, domestic, India A, and IPL cricket, with former coach Rahul Dravid calling him a "unique talent" with a combination of ability, smarts, and fearlessness.
15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, India's youngest cricketer, expressed immense joy upon receiving his maiden national jersey. His rapid rise, fueled by record-breaking performances in IPL 2026 and List A cricket, has led to his selection for upcoming national tours.
Fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became the youngest cricketer globally to hit 100 T20 sixes before turning 20. He achieved this feat during an IPL 2026 match against Gujarat Titans, needing just 514 balls, significantly faster than Kieron Pollard's previous record. This milestone highlights Sooryavanshi's fearless power-hitting and rapid rise in the sport.
