Fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made his national debut on July 4, 2026. He played his first T20 match against England at Manchester’s iconic venue. Sooryavanshi smashed the previous age barrier record. No player under 16 had played India before. He scored a quick dozen off a handful of deliveries before getting out. His first two shots went for maximum runs. The spinner and the pacer dismissed him.
