Vaibhav Suryavanshi has attracted the attention of the cricket world by making which record in IPL? How have Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar reacted to Vaibhav Suryavanshi? What did Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar say about Vaibhav’s selection in the Indian team?
Ahmedabad: Discussions are still hot in the cricket world about Rajasthan Royals’ young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who hit sixes in the IPL. After making the record of becoming the youngest person to win the Orange Cap by scoring 776 runs at the age of just 15, fans have only one question in their mind – when will Vaibhav Suryavanshi play for Team India? The demand to include this young player, who is considered a future superstar, in the team is gaining momentum.
Sachin Tendulkar himself has said about Suryavanshi, who won the Under-19 World Cup and dominated the IPL, that he wants to see him play Test cricket. Legends like Sunil Gavaskar are also waiting for his debut. During the IPL final, former Indian player Ajay Jadeja had also questioned Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar about this at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Jadeja told that from Agarkar’s answer it seemed that Vaibhav may soon come to the Indian team. However, till now BCCI was maintaining silence on the selection of Suryavanshi. Last month, when the Test and ODI squads against Afghanistan were announced, Agarkar had admitted that Suryavanshi was batting well, but he had also said that there were many other players ahead of him in the queue to get into the senior team.
To give experience to the young players, BCCI has currently included Suryavanshi in the India A team. He will be part of the India A team for the ODI series against Sri Lanka later this month. According to reports, BCCI has also included Suryavanshi’s name in the probable list for the T20 series against Ireland. Overall, indications are that the young sensation won’t have to wait much longer to don the Indian jersey.
