Is team India wasting a talent? BCCI issues strong clarification on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s debut

The debate over Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's delayed India debut continues, but BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla has firmly backed the team management's decision to keep the 15-year-old on the bench. Sooryavanshi earned a senior call-up after a sensational IPL 2026 season, scoring 776 runs at an incredible strike rate of 237.31, but is yet to make his international debut. With India continuing to back the successful top-order trio of Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan, Shukla said the final call rests with head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shreyas Iyer. He urged fans to trust the team management's judgment, adding that Sooryavanshi will get his opportunity when the right time comes.
