Some shocking updates have popped up about the teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who is currently in Sri Lanka for a tri-nation ODI series with the India A team. In India, the senior team is engaged with Afghanistan for a 3-match ODI series.
Amid the tournaments, Abhishek Tripathi, a journalist, claims on a social media platform that the meteoric emergence of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has made several Team India cricketers insecure.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s rise makes a few unhappy
During an online interaction, the journalist claims that he has some inputs that some of the Indian cricket team players are not happy with the early emergence of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Tripathi claims that while he was discussing with a BCCI source, he learnt about the shocking fact. According to his claims, some of the cricketers advise the officials not to make any haste on the 15-year-old.
But why do the other cricketers like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s entry in the senior cricket team’s dressing room? After Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Team India has no other superstar in the ranks. Virat and Rohit are both nearing their retirements.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir also talks against the superstar culture. He wants to make a team that will have no superstars. Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bumrah, Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and the other regular players for the Indian national cricket team are massively popular and obviously stars, but not superstars.

Vaibhav will be the main attraction in the team
As there are no superstars in the T20I team, all of the players now have the same amount of opportunity to catch the attention. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is already enjoying all of the limelight. Because of his extraordinary batting skills and ability to score runs at a rapid pace, he is now the superstar of the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.
If he continues to play at the same rate, then it will be only a matter of time to quickly fetches the superstar tag as a Team India batter as well. If Sooryavanshi, at the age of only 15, grabs all the attention, then the other players in the squad could go behind the curtains, away from the lights.
IPL 2026 was a standout season for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. As the youngest player in the franchise league, he claimed the Orange Cap, scoring 776 runs in 16 matches and as many innings for the Rajasthan Royals with a stunning strike rate of 237.30 and a batting average of 48.50.
The batter is struggling with his form in Sri Lanka
Because of the amazing performance with consistency, the national team selectors, led by Ajit Agarkar, picked the Bihar-born for the T20I squads for the upcoming tours to Ireland and England, and for the 2026 Asian Games in Japan as well.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi could make history if he makes his India debut at the age of only 15. Breaking the legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s record, Vaibhav can rewrite history. Ahead of the UK tour, the batter is struggling with his form in Sri Lanka. So far, in three matches in the tri-nation ODI series, he has scored 14, 44, and 21, respectively.
