Rising star of Team India, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has won over everyone in a very short span of time. Fans are now eager to see this star back on the field.
Initially, Team India were scheduled to play next only at the 2026 Asian Games, which would have meant a long wait for the fans.
When will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi return to action for Team India?
However, a new series for Team India has now been announced now that means Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will soon be seen on the field again wearing the Team India jersey. Team India are set to play its next T20 match against Afghanistan on September 13. This opening match of the three game series against the Afghan team will be held at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, where Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be seen donning the ‘Blue Jersey’.

How could the Afghanistan series impact his spot in the playing XI?
Following this series, he is also scheduled to compete in the 2026 Asian Games, meaning fans can look forward to seeing more of him in action this year. If Sooryavanshi replicates the batting style he displayed against Zimbabwe in the upcoming match against Afghanistan, he could cement his place in Team India’s playing XI even before the 2026 Asian Games. In such a scenario either Sanju Samson or Abhishek Sharma would partner him.
What upcoming red-ball challenge awaits Vaibhav Sooryavanshi?
Before the T20 series against Afghanistan, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be seen playing for the East Zone in the 2026 Duleep Trophy, where he will also serve as the team’s vice-captain. While Vaibhav has already made his mark in T20s and ODIs, he has yet to make a significant impact in red-ball cricket. Consequently, when he takes the field against the North East Zone on August 23rd in the Duleep Trophy, he will be aiming to play a blistering innings.
What are Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s stats in T20Is?
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has scored 193 runs in 6 T20 matches for the Indian cricket team. He batted at a very fast strike rate of 189.22. The 15 years old talent made his senior debut for India in July 2026 during the tour of England becoming India’s youngest male international player. He then delivered a historic performance in the series against Zimbabwe.
