<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAmid his historic, record-shattering IPL 2026 campaign, 15-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is being strongly tipped for a maiden call-up to the Indian national team.The Rajasthan Royals prodigy enjoyed a phenomenal season, dominating bowlers across the tournament. Sooryavanshi finished league stage of IPL 2026 with 680 runs in 15 matches at a staggering strike rate of 242.85. He also broke Chris Gayle<\/a>‘s long-standing record for the most sixes in a single IPL season, smashing an incredible 65 maximums.His extraordinary performances have earned comparisons with some of cricket’s greatest names. While many likened his power-hitting to Chris Gayle and his precocious talent to Sachin Tendulkar<\/a>, former Australia coach Tom Moody even compared the teenager’s dominance over his peers to the legendary Don Bradman.Now, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar<\/a> has thrown his weight behind the youngster, insisting that Sooryavanshi is ready for international cricket and should be included in India’s T20I squad for the upcoming tour of England. “Vaibhav Suryavanshi is definitely ready for international cricket & I am expecting that he will be selected in the T2OI team touring England this summer, ”If you don’t select him even after this phenomenol performance then when you gonna select him? Don’t look at his age coz the way he is hitting bowlers 15 years elder than him & having so much international experience. So, don’t look at his age, he is fearless,” Sunil Gavaskar said on Sports Tak. <\/p>\n What is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s most impressive achievement in IPL 2026?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n In the upcoming Qualifier 2 match between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans head-to-head match, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be in the focus for the night in New Chandigarh. This high-stakes knockout clash will determine who moves on to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Grand Final. The match narrative hinges heavily on Sooryavanshi’s opening over battles against GT’s marquee pace duo, Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada. If GT can eliminate the teenage early, they expose an unstable RR middle order. However, if Sooryavanshi breaks through their powerplay trap, he has the proven ability to finish the game in a flash.<\/div>\n
