India may soon witness the rise of a new young star, as 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is likely to be selected for the upcoming T20I tour of Ireland in June. The young batter has impressed everyone with his fearless performances in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 season, representing Rajasthan Royals. The selectors are closely watching his progress and are considering giving him an opportunity in the short Ireland series. This tour will take place just before India’s white-ball series in England, making it a good platform for young players to showcase their talent at the international level. If selected, Sooryavanshi could become the youngest player to represent India, breaking long-standing records. Currently, he is the leading run-scorer for RR with 200 runs with a strike rate of 263.15. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to receive maiden India call-up in June According to reports of the Indian Express, the 15-year-old batter is already in contention for selection. “He is in contention for the Ireland tour and the selectors have shortlisted his name along with those of many other players,” a source in the Indian cricket board confirmed. The selectors are planning to test him against slightly easier opposition before giving him bigger challenges. If he continues his current form, he is also likely to be picked for the Zimbabwe tour later this year. Fearless batting approach for Rajasthan in IPL 2026 Sooryavanshi has been one of the most exciting players this season. The left-handed batter has played some explosive innings against top teams. He scored 78 runs off just 26 balls against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, 52 off 17 balls against Chennai Super Kings and 39 off 14 balls against Mumbai Indians. What makes his performances even more special is his fearless approach. He has confidently taken on world-class bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Josh Hazlewood without any hesitation. Chance to break historic records for Team India Currently, Sachin Tendulkar holds the record as the youngest male cricketer to play for India, having debuted at 16 years and 205 days. Overall, Shafali Verma is the youngest Indian cricketer, making her debut at just 15 years and 7 months. If Sooryavanshi plays in the Ireland series, scheduled on June 26 and 28, he could break Shafali’s record and create history. Sooryavanshi’s explosive batting approach decoded Despite all the attention, the young batter remains calm and focused on his game. He said, “At the back of my mind, it is there (thought about who is bowling). But I try to play the ball and not the bowler, and play my own game … My dad, my coaches, my guardian (Rajasthan Royals team manager) Romi (Bhinder) sir, keep telling me that the journey is long, and to focus on my process and my game, without diverting my mind to different things,” he had said after the his team’s six-wicket win over RCB on Friday.
