Why did Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s name suddenly start resonating in Lord’s, the foreign legend said – ‘Bring him to Team India quickly’

Teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who created a stir with his stormy batting in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026), is currently everywhere. This young opener of Rajasthan Royals batted brilliantly and scored 776 runs in 16 matches of the 19th season of IPL. This left-handed batsman won many big awards in the season including Orange Cap and ‘Most Valuable Player’ (MVP). Now the demand to include this 15-year-old player in the Indian team for the upcoming T-20 series against Ireland and England is increasing. Now it remains to be seen whether the selectors decide to field this young player directly on the big stage of international cricket or not.

What actually happened?

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s performance was so impressive that its echo was also heard in the first Test match being played between England and New Zealand at Lord’s. When the play was stopped due to rain in this Test match which started on Thursday, Simon Dull, Ian Ward and Nasir Hussain included in the broadcasting panel could not stop themselves from discussing the success of this young player. Simon Dull described Vaibhav’s batting as amazing and said that it would be very interesting to see if the Indian selectors select him in the team immediately.

Conversation between legends during Lord’s Test

Ian Ward: ‘It’s really extraordinary.’

Nasir Hussain: (laughing)

Simon Dull: ‘He is not far away from the Indian team now. It is really amazing to watch them play. He has been the highest run scorer in this tournament. I don’t know how many awards he got at the end of the tournament, but for a 15-year-old kid to do this is really amazing. It was a great experience to see him. I don’t know whose place he will take in the team, but the selectors will have to make a place for him somewhere.

‘Second Season Syndrome’ foiled

It is often seen that players flop in their second season, but Vaibhav proved all such apprehensions wrong. He scored more than 700 runs this season, which included one century and scored more than 90 three times. He got the team out of trouble by playing innings of 90+ runs in two consecutive matches in the Eliminator against Sunrisers Hyderabad and then in the Qualifier-2 against Rajasthan Royals.

Vaibhav will be seen in the field again on 9th June

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will now be seen playing in the India-A tri-series starting from June 9, where he will face Sri Lanka-A and Afghanistan-A. Tilak Verma is captaining this team. After a brilliant performance in IPL 2026, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has now left for Sri Lanka tour. During this tour, Team India A will play in a tri-series with Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A. This 15-year-old young star has been selected in the Indian team for this tri-series, which will start on June 9, 2026.
