This will be his first match after IPL 2026 and all eyes are on this young sensation.

IPL star will now prove his strength in ODI

Vaibhav Suryavanshi created a stir across the country with his aggressive batting in the IPL. After his brilliant performance, he also got a place in the Indian T20 team. Now he is coming out to show his ability in the 50 over format.

He will be faced with the challenge of playing long innings along with aggressive style on the spin-friendly pitches of Sri Lanka. He was also seen playing defensively in the practice session, but his main identity is his fast and powerful batting.

Tilak Verma expressed confidence

India A captain Tilak Verma praised Vaibhav before the match and said that this series is a great opportunity for him to test himself in the longer format. Tilak said, “Everyone has seen what a talented player he is. He batted brilliantly in the final of the Under-19 World Cup. His role will be a little different on the slow pitches of Sri Lanka, but I am confident that he will do wonders here too.”
