Ajit Agarakar suggested to consider Vaibhav Suryavanshi for the senior team immediately

In age-group cricket, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has set numerous records while playing with senior players at a time when many youngsters are just starting out. Suryavanshi broke the record of becoming the youngest centurion in the history of the IPL after becoming the youngest player to hold an IPL contract.

Following IPL 2025, Vaibhav has been hitting runs in a variety of formats while playing at the U19 level against teams like Australia and England. Whether in India or abroad, he has also become a fan favourite as they take selfies with him.

In addition to smashing a 58-ball century in a four-day match against the Australia Under-19 squad prior to the T20 league, Suryavanshi hit the fastest century in youth ODIs against England at Worcester following the IPL.

The director of high performance for the Rajasthan Royals, Zubin Barucha, has urged Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of selectors, to consider Vaibhav Suryavanshi for the senior squad. Barucha believes the Bihar-born left-handed batsman can make a significant contribution to the nation. He used Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar as an example, explaining how the selectors recognised him at a fairly early stage.

“He should be blooded into the senior team immediately, like Sachin was all those years ago,” Bharucha said. “They have to blood this guy immediately, boss, because he is in another zone only. At least send him on an India A tour. Send him to India A immediately. I’m telling you, this Australian attack that is here, bowling to India A guys, he would have got a double hundred.”

Agarkar must believe that it makes perfect sense to include Vaibhav Suryavanshi right away. He will improve more quickly if he plays against more formidable opponents. His next stop might be the India A team. According to Barucha, waiting too long could squander valuable time for development. To develop into champions, young talents require difficulties. The High Performance Director of the Royals has seen enough to support him wholeheartedly.
