The IPL 2026 season has proved to be a blast for the young players so far. Talk about Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Priyansh Arya, Anshul Kamboj or Prince Yadav. These young Indian players have created a stir this season. Especially some opening batsmen have created the most sensation, who bat in the first 6 overs as if they will tear the ball apart. There are some names among these, who can also be seen opening for Team India in future.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi

The first name is that of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is becoming a better and more mature batsman with time. This 15 year old boy remains a contender to win the Orange Cape in IPL 2026. So far, while playing for Rajasthan Royals, he has scored 357 runs in 8 matches, during which he has also scored a century in 36 balls. Recently, some media reports also claimed that Vaibhav may get a chance to go on Ireland tour, where Team India has to play 2 T20 matches.

Priyansh Arya

Priyansh Arya also made his IPL debut in 2025. He had scored 475 runs in 17 matches and also scored a century in 39 balls in the same season. He has not got the kind of fame that Vaibhav Suryavanshi has got, but Priyansh has been beating good bowlers. His good form continues in IPL 2026 and till now he has scored 254 runs including two half-centuries in 6 matches for Punjab Kings.

Prabhsimran Singh

Priyansh Arya’s opening partner in Punjab Kings, Prabhsimran Singh has also increased his stature as a batsman. He has been playing in IPL since 2019, but his form in IPL 2026 can be gauged from the fact that he has scored runs at an incredible average of 57.40 this season. So far, he has scored 287 runs including three half-centuries in 7 matches. Prabhasimran’s bat is on fire this time, because his total strike rate in IPL 2026 is 192.62.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has qualified to debut in international cricket. Vaibhav is 15 years old and according to the rules of the International Cricket Council (ICC), the minimum age limit for international debut is 15 years. Due to Vaibhav’s brilliant performance in the Under-19 World Cup, Rising Stars Asia Cup and other tournaments, the demand to bring him in Team India has started gaining momentum.

Of course, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is an explosive opening batsman, who does not believe in playing with a strike rate less than 200. At present, Vaibhav is making waves in T20 and the biggest question is that if he comes in the Indian T20 team, whose place will he replace.

Who will replace Vaibhav Suryavanshi?

Vaibhav Suryavanshi also opens in domestic cricket and IPL. His strong point is to hit the new ball badly, hence in the present time hardly any batsman bats more explosively in the powerplay than Vaibhav.

Talking about Team India, there is no vacancy in the top order right now. Therefore, Vaibhav Suryavanshi may have to wait for now to come into the playing eleven of Team India. Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan, the place of these 3 batsmen is confirmed in the top order. Tilak Verma is also in the waiting list, who had to bat lower in the order due to Samson’s return to the opening in the 2026 T20 World Cup.

Will there be a chance in the lower order?

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s playing style suits the opening order only. Therefore he would hardly get a chance in the lower order. If we look at the current situation, the chances of Vaibhav Suryavanshi joining Team India till the 2028 T20 World Cup seem slim to none.

So far, in his T20 career of 21 matches, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has scored 823 runs including 3 centuries and two fifties. His average in T20 is 41.15 and he has been playing with a stormy strike rate of 209.94.

BCCI has handed over the responsibility of running the fast bowling movement in India to veteran cricketer Zaheer Khan. Zaheer will now help in creating a new generation of fast bowlers in the country. He has got the responsibility to organize a special fast bowling training camp at BCCI’s Center of Excellence in Bengaluru.

According to a report published in Times of India, the Center of Excellence has not had a chief fast bowling coach since December last year. The tenure of 60-year-old previous coach Troy Cooley, who had been working as fast bowling coach at COE for four years, ended in December.

BCCI started accepting applications for this post on February 9, but a replacement for Troy Cooley has not been found yet.

A BCCI source quoted by TOI said that a group of fast bowlers have been invited from cricket associations of several states, who will participate in the fast-bowling camp to be held from February 28-March 2 and this training camp will be organized under the guidance of Zaheer Khan.

BCCI’s Center of Excellence Head of Cricket VVS Laxman has also supported this initiative. The source said that Zaheer Khan looks at the role of coaching with great enthusiasm. He was in the Lucknow Super Giants team and believes that he can contribute in preparing the next generation of fast bowlers.

It is not yet clear whether Zaheer Khan wants to take up a full-time coaching role at the Center of Excellence or not. When BCCI released the job vacancy, BCCI had written in the job description that the bowling coach coming to the Center of Excellence will work closely with the support staff of the Indian cricket team and will also help in preparing the new generation of fast bowlers.

Ever since Gautam Gambhir has taken the post of head coach in place of Rahul Dravid, since then there has been a period of change in Team India. Batting coach Abhishek Nair has been evacuated, while fielding coach T Dileep was also fired by BCCI. However, he was called back to the England Tour.

Shubman Gill has passed his first test as a captain. Big giants were engaged in predicting that the Indian team would have to face a big defeat in England. Gill not only scored 754 runs in the series, but also took many good decisions as a captain. Finally, Team India was successful in getting the series a 2–2 draw. Despite the best performance of Shubman Gill, Mohammad Siraj and KL Rahul, 3 shortcomings of Team India have been exposed in the England series.

Number-3 batting

It has been more than 2 years since Cheteshwar Pujara dropped from Team India, but the number-3 problem is not taking the name of ending. After Pujara, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill was tested on this sequence. At the same time, Karun Nair and Sai Sudarshan batting on this sequence on England tour, but both flopped. Sai Sudarshan scored just 140 runs in 6 innings while batting at number-3 in the series against England. On the other hand, Nair got four opportunities on this order, in which he could score just 111 runs.

Fitness became a complex problem

Jaspreet Bumrah comes to the first name in the mind when the case of fitness arises. Due to workload, he played only 3 Tests in England. Bumrah’s fitness pole was revealed when his bowling speed started falling when he played in 2 consecutive Test matches in Lord’s and Old Trafford. As a result, he could not play the fifth Test. Nitish Kumar Reddy can fulfill the shortage of good fast bowling all -rounder in the Test team, for this he has also got frequent opportunities, but he was out of the team due to a knee injury.

At the same time, Akashdeep has been effective in the early matches of his Test career, but he too had a problem of lower abdomen pain during the Test series. In such a situation, it was difficult for Team India to prepare the playing XI combination for the fourth Test. This is a very worrying topic and the question arises whether Indian players need to pay more attention to fitness.

Kuldeep Yadav does not trust

Kuldeep Yadav was the only chief spinner in the Indian squad who went on England tour. Kuldeep was repeatedly excluded from the playing XI citing depth in batting. Rist spinner Kuldeep could have left a very good impact on England’s pitches. It has been 8 years since he makes his test debut, after which only 13 Tests play very questions. Repeatedly, the Indian team management was advised to give Kuldeep a chance to the wrist spin bowling, but has the management’s trust in Kuldeep completely raised?

Ravi Shastri on Ind vs Eng: The Indian team was leading in the Leeds Test, gave England a huge target of 371 runs. Despite this, Team India lost the first Test by 5 wickets. In view of many aspects like poor fielding, lower order batting flop, the Indian team management had made three major changes in the playing XI of the second Test match. Jaspreet Bumrah also had a name among the players who were out. On being out of Bumrah, India’s legendary player Ravi Shastri had a lot of lactate to the Indian team management.

Ravi Shastri fiercely criticized the decision of the entire team management including Shubman Gill and coach Gautam Gambhir. Shastri said that after the defeat in the first Test, Team India needed to do the counter attack and Bumrah was required to be in the playing XI for the counter attack. He further said that India wants to return to the series by winning the next match, but it has given rest to the best bowler in the world.

Ravi Shastri was unable to believe in the decision to relax Jaspreet Bumrah. He said that the Indian team had got a week’s rest, he was shocked that Bumrah was not kept in the playing XI.

Akashdeep got his place

Akashdeep was placed in the playing XI in place of Jaspreet Bumrah. In fact, Akashdeep was India’s highest wicket bowler in the match. He took 4 wickets in the first innings and 6 wickets in the second innings took a total of 10 wickets in the entire match. Akashdeep’s performance has made it clear to a great extent that the Indian team can win even without Bumrah. However, the Indian team has a mental edge with Jasprit Bumrah’s joining the playing XI only, because Bumrah does not wander from bowling with his accurate length and takes constant wickets.
