Teen Cricket Sensation Sooryavanshi Eyes New World Record

15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is set to become the youngest international cricketer for an ICC full-member nation. He'll break Mujeeb ur Rahman's 2018 record.

India's 15-year-old prodigy, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, is set to make history in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan, beginning September 13, 2026. He is in contention to become the youngest player from an ICC full-member nation to debut in international cricket on Indian soil.

This potential record would see Sooryavanshi surpass the mark set by Afghanistan's spinner Mujeeb ur Rahman in 2018. Mujeeb was 17 years and 78 days old when he played his first Test in India. Sooryavanshi's inclusion would also mean he plays against some of the youngest international cricketers.

Sooryavanshi already holds several age-related international cricket records. Earlier in 2026, he broke Sachin Tendulkar's long-standing record for the youngest player to debut for India, showcasing his exceptional talent at a young age.

The young talent is vying for a position in India's competitive T20I top order, potentially competing with seasoned players like Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan. Kishan's availability for the series is uncertain due to a minor injury sustained during the Duleep Trophy 2026 final.
