NEW DELHI: All eyes will be on 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi when India take on Ireland in the first T20I of the two-match series in Belfast on Friday.The teenage batting sensation has become one of the biggest talking points in world cricket, with fans eagerly waiting to see if he can make his debut in India. If he gets a game, Sooryavanshi will make history by becoming the youngest player to represent India in men’s international cricket.
Sooryavanshi’s incredible climb
Sooryavanshi earned his maiden senior call-up after an impressive season in IPL 2026. Playing for Rajasthan Royals, he scored 776 runs in 16 innings at a staggering strike rate of 237. He also smashed 72 sixes, setting a new record for most sixes in an IPL season.The youngster carried his form into the India A tri-series in Sri Lanka.

A moment to break Sachin Tendulkar record by:
At 15 years and 71 days, Sooryavanshi became the youngest player to be selected in India’s senior men’s squad, breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s 36-year-old record.Tendulkar made his international debut in 1989 against Pakistan at the age of 16 years and 205 days. If Sooryavanshi is included in the playing XI against Ireland, he will overtake the batting legend to become India’s youngest male international cricketer.
‘Words cannot explain it’. Sooryavanshi:
Speaking after receiving his maiden India call-up, Sooryavanshi described wearing the India jersey as a dream come true.“Words can’t explain it. The reason I picked up the bat from day one and went to the ground for practice. That dream has come true now. The biggest step in that journey is over today. I can’t really put this feeling into words,” he said in a video shared by the BCCI.The teenager admitted that he was overwhelmed when he first saw the Indian jersey.“I felt like a dream when I saw the T-shirt; I couldn’t stop smiling. Sometimes things happen that you don’t think will happen. When it finally happens, you don’t know what the reaction will be. That’s exactly how I feel,” he added.
Will the wait be over in Belfast?
Whether he makes his debut on Friday or later in the series, the excitement around Sooryavanshi continues to grow. For now, the biggest question ahead of the India vs Ireland clash remains the same. Will the 15-year-old get his first India cap?
