NEW DELHI: Will 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi finally make his India debut on Saturday? That is the biggest question ahead of the second T20I against England at Old Trafford in Manchester.The young batting sensation is waiting for his first senior appearance in India even though he got a call after a sensational season in IPL 2026. Now, a mysterious post on Instagram has only added to the fans’ excitement.Sooryavanshi shared a picture of himself batting in India’s blue jersey on his Instagram story with a simple two-word caption. “New chapter.” The post quickly went viral, with many believing it to be a sign that his much-anticipated debut in India is just around the corner.The teenager was one of the hardest working players in India’s practice sessions in England. He spent long hours in the nets and had a good eye for the bat. Although the team management has repeatedly said that they do not want to rush the youngster, Sooryavanshi continues to praise his fearless batting style.The left-handed opener had a stellar season in IPL 2026 with Rajasthan Royals. He scored 776 runs at a remarkable strike rate of 237.30, earning him his maiden senior call-up to India.
However, he is still waiting for his first international appearance. Sooryavanshi was not included in either of the two T20Is against Ireland and also missed the opening T20I against England, which ended in a draw after rain interrupted England’s chase.Since the series is still open, all eyes are on the Indian team selection. And after Sooryavanshi’s “new chapter” post, the excitement surrounding her possible debut is even stronger.
