Vaibhav Sooryavanshi makes the cut in the Indian T20I Team
India have called up batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for their upcoming series of T20 cricket internatonals against Ireland and England.Calls for India to recruit the 15-year-old intensified amid his spectacular IPL campaign, when he topped the overall scoring charts and broke a record for the most sixes in a single season from Chris Gayle that had stood since 2012.
Sooryavanshi was named the competition's Most Valuable Player (MVP) and the Best Emerging Player simultaneously.
If the left-handed volume scorer goes on to make his debut against either Ireland later this month or England in early July, Sooryavanshi would become the youngest player ever to represent an Indian men's senior team.
The current holder of that record is none other than Sachin Tendulkar, seen by many as India's or possibly the world's best ever batsman.
"We've seen what he can do, towards playoffs, almost single-handedly carried Rajasthan Royals," selection panel chairman Ajit Agarkar told reporters. "He's a game-changer. We've got high hopes of him and he has picked himself."
