Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the 15 year old young batsman of the Indian cricket team, is in the news these days. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has got a chance in the senior Indian team for the T20 series against Ireland. The first match of this series is to be played today i.e. on 26th June. If Vaibhav is included in India's playing eleven, then as soon as he steps on the field, he can destroy many historical records from the God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar to the current legend Rohit Sharma.
The record of making the youngest debut in men's international cricket for India is held in the name of the great Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin played his first match against Pakistan in 1989 at the age of just 16 years and 205 days. If Vaibhav gets the T20 cap against Ireland, then at the age of 15, he will break Sachin's 37-year-old historical record and become India's youngest international cricketer.
The record of hitting most sixes in the innings of his first T20 match for India is in the name of wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan. Ishaan had hit 4 skyscraper sixes in his debut match against England in Ahmedabad. If Vaibhav Suryavanshi, famous for his aggressive and clean-hitting, hits 5 sixes in his first match against Ireland, then he will surpass Ishan Kishan and reach the top in this list.
The record of scoring most runs in the very first match of T20 International cricket for India is in the name of experienced batsman Ajinkya Rahane. Rahane played a brilliant and explosive inning of 61 runs in 39 balls in his first T20 match against England in 2011. If Vaibhav Suryavanshi is successful in scoring 62 runs in his first match against Ireland, then he will add this 15 year old record of Rahane to the pages of history.
So far in the history of Indian cricket, four players have made their T20 International debut on the grounds of Ireland. These 4 players are Siddharth Kaul, Umran Malik, Prasidh Krishna and Rinku Singh, the interesting thing is that none of these four batsmen could score a single run in their first match. In such a situation, if Vaibhav gets a chance to debut in Ireland and opens his account, he will become the first Indian debutant to score runs on Irish soil.
The most successful Indian batsman as an opener in T20 cricket on the pitches of Ireland is Rohit Sharma. Rohit has scored a total of 97 runs on Irish soil at a stormy strike rate of 159.01. If Vaibhav Suryavanshi plays a magical inning of 98 runs while opening in his very first match, then he will surpass Rohit Sharma and become the highest run-scoring Indian T20 opener in Ireland.
