Wonderkid Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was called up by India for the first time yesterday as he was named in the T20 squad for the tours of Ireland and England, as well as the Asian Games.
The 15-year-old opening batter is the youngest cricketer to get an India call-up. If he plays against Ireland on June 26 in Belfast, he will overtake Sachin Tendulkar, who was 16 when he made his Test debut against Pakistan in November 1989.
Sooryavanshi set the Indian Premier League alight this season, finishing as the highest run-getter with 776 in 16 innings. He scored at a remarkable strike rate of 237.31 and hit 72 sixes.
