Shashi Tharoor on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: In the year 2025, Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli is not the most searched player on Google, but 14 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been the most searched player. This shows that his batting has now become a fan not only in India but all over the world. There is only one question from cricket fans to former cricketers that when will Vaibhav, who has proved himself in international cricket from domestic to junior level, get a place in Team India?

Vaibhav Suryavanshi played explosive innings in Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, playing for Bihar in the first match of Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, played a explosive innings and he is once again in the headlines. Vaibhav played a brilliant inning of 190 runs against Arunachal Pradesh in just 84 balls with the help of 16 fours and 15 sixes. After this inning, another face has been included among the fans of Vaibhav. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on social media that when will Vaibhav Suryavanshi get a place in Team India?

The last time a fourteen year old showed such prodigious cricketing talent, it was Sachin Tendulkar — and we all know what became of him. What are you waiting for? Vaibhav Suryavanshi for India!@imAagarkar @GautamGambhir @bcci @sachin_rt https://t.co/BK9iKqBGV2

Shashi Tharoor said – Sachin had done such a feat at the age of 14

Shashi Tharoor has posted on his ex (earlier Twitter) about the explosive innings played by Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the very first match of Vijay Hazare Trophy. Tharoor wrote in the post, ‘The last time a 14-year-old player showed tremendous talent in cricket, it was Sachin Tendulkar. We know what they did. What are you waiting for? Vaibhav Suryavanshi for India!

Tharoor has also tagged BCCI Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar, Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, BCCI and Sachin Tendulkar in his post. Let us tell you that Sachin Tendulkar made his debut for Team India at the age of 16 years and 205 days, but he scored his first century for Mumbai at the age of 14. For this reason Vaibhav Suryavanshi is being compared to Sachin.
