There will be a chance to see Rajasthan Royals’ young opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi in action again in the IPL 2026 season starting soon. 14 year old Vaibhav, who made his debut last season, surprised everyone with the noise he created with his bat as soon as he arrived. Since then, wherever he went, he hit the bowlers hard. Since then there is a demand to include Vaibhav in Team India. But it seems that although he may score as many runs as he wants in IPL 2026, at the moment his entry in Team India does not seem to be happening, at least not in the ODI team.
Will the new stars of IPL not get a chance?
Before the start of IPL 2026 season, a report by news agency PTI has revealed that in this IPL, all the members of the selection committee will keep an eye on different matches. Their objective is to see the performance of the potential players to be selected for next year’s ODI World Cup. It has been told in the report that the selectors have already prepared a list of about 20 players for this World Cup and now only their performance in this tournament will be followed.
It has also been made clear in this report that even if a new player performs amazingly in this IPL season, he will not be selected for the ODI World Cup. Most of the names among the potential players for World Cup 2027 are those who are playing continuously in this format. This means that it is clear that even if Vaibhav Suryavanshi scores runs or a new bowler takes a lot of wickets, he will not be able to make a place for him in the ODI team.
How will Vaibhav enter Team India?
Now will IPL stars like Vaibhav get a chance in T20 format? At present it is difficult to say because Team India has recently won the T20 World Cup and the next big T20 tournament is in 2028. Also, only the existing players who have won the World Cup are expected to continue in this format. However, it is possible that he may get a place in the Indian cricket team going to the Asian Games this year, which is to be played in T20 format.
