Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was just called up by India for the first time. The Indian cricketer was named in the T20 squad for the tours of Ireland and England, as well as the Asian Games. The T20, or the Twenty20, is a shortened form of cricket.
The 15-year-old opening batter is the youngest cricketer to get an India call-up. If he plays against Ireland on June 26, he will overtake Sachin Tendulkar, who was 16 when he made his test debut against Pakistan in November 1989.
Sooryavanshi has already set the Indian Premier League (IPL) alight this season, finishing as the highest run-getter with 776 in 16 innings.
At 13, Sooryavanshi became the youngest to get an IPL deal when the Rajasthan Royals bought him for the 2025 season. He then starred in India’s win at the 2026 Under-19 World Cup, smashing 175 off 80 balls in the final.
