It is happening. At 15 years old, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on Saturday became the youngest to play international cricket for the India. The teenage sensation was handed his maiden cap ahead of India’s second T20I against England at Old Trafford by Tilak Varma, who had captained him in the tri-series that India A had played in Sri Lanka before the senior team’s ongoing tour of Ireland and England. Sooryavanshi has thus broken Sachin Tendulkar’s long-standing record for the youngest Indian debutant in men’s international cricket.

He has also broken the record for being the youngest Indian in international cricket overall, previously held by Shafali Verma who was a few days older than Sooryavanshi is when she made her debut in September 2019. India captain Shreyas Iyer said at the toss that Sooryavanshi has replaced opener Sanju Samson in the lineup.

Tendulkar had famously made his debut aged 16 years 205 days old in a Test match against Pakistan in Karachi in November 1989. Shafali was 15 years and 239 days old when she made her debut in a T20I against South Africa in Surat. Sooryavanshi is 15 years and 99 days old.

“You’ve seen him in the last couple of months, the way he’s been smashing the ball, taking on the best of the bowlers, shows immense confidence that he possesses,” said Iyer at the toss, which India won and chose to bat first. The five-match series remains tied at 0-0 with the first match having been washed out on Wednesday.
