India's Young Stars Warned Amid England T20 Struggles

BCCI warns Vaibhav Sooryavanshi & Abhishek Sharma over inconsistent form in England T20Is. Team loses second straight series. Read more.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has issued a significant warning to opening batsmen Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Abhishek Sharma amidst the T20I series against England. The young duo, known for their explosive potential, have struggled with inconsistent form in the recent matches. This has led to concerns, with a BCCI source noting that their "six-hitting ability... needs to be controlled."

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old prodigy, has managed only 42 runs in three innings, with a best score of 15. This starkly contrasts his stellar IPL 2026 season where he won the Orange Cap with 776 runs. Abhishek Sharma, the world's second-ranked T20I batter, has also seen a dip in form, scoring 10 and 16 in the latest matches after decent starts.

The team, led by Shreyas Iyer, has already lost the series, marking their second consecutive series defeat. This performance has also sparked debate, with former player Parthiv Patel questioning the decision to drop Sanju Samson in favor of Sooryavanshi, suggesting the selection might have been more emotional than logical.
