It is said that the Indian Premier League can make any player a star overnight. Something similar happened in IPL 2026 with Prafulla Hinge and Saqib Hussain, who took 4-4 wickets in their IPL debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Well, every year a new star emerges, but Vaibhav Suryavanshi has wreaked havoc for the second consecutive year.
Now the news is that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is preparing to give a chance to Vaibhav Suryavanshi for his international debut very soon. In a short IPL career of just 12 matches, Vaibhav has scored 452 runs including one century and 3 fifties. His total strike rate is 228.28. If Vaibhav gets a chance to join the Indian team, then it will be a big question as to whose place he will replace. Here you will get the answer to this question.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi will come to Team India
According to reports, BCCI may select Vaibhav Suryavanshi for the Ireland tour. A few weeks after the conclusion of IPL 2026, Team India has to play 2 T20 matches on Ireland tour, which will be played on June 26 and June 28. If Vaibhav is selected for the Ireland tour, he can become the youngest player to debut for India. He is currently 15 years old, whereas Sachin Tendulkar made his debut for Team India at the age of 16.
Who will replace Vaibhav Suryavanshi?
Now the biggest question is, whose place can Vaibhav replace in Team India? Talking about Team India, which is coming after winning the title of 2026 T20 World Cup, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan did well in its top order. All three are in good form and can be seen in the role of senior players in the Indian team for the 2028 T20 World Cup. The places of Abhishek, Sanju and Ishaan in the T20 team seem to be confirmed.
But there is a possibility that BCCI may choose a young squad for the Ireland tour. In such a situation, senior players can be given rest. If this happens, then if selected in the squad, he can definitely get a chance to open in Team India. If Vaibhav is included in the plans for T20 World Cup 2028, it will be interesting to see which batting order he is assigned to bat.
