India hands T20I debut to 15-year-old Sooryavanshi
India blooded 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the T20I series against England, making him the youngest debutant in the country's history. Former players now debate his long-term role and development path.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is 15 years and 99 days old. He just became India's youngest international debutant, breaking a record Sachin Tendulkar held for 34 years.
He scored 14 in the match, striking two sixes. India's pushing youth into the senior T20 setup now, and Sooryavanshi's the proof.
Laxman Sivaramakrishnan doesn't want the management benching him straight after debut — he sees a 2027 ODI World Cup role for the kid. Parthiv Patel went further, saying India needs to be clear about whether Sooryavanshi's actually going to play T20Is again, or if this was a one-off showcase.
