Cricket fans and former cricketer all over the world want to see Vaibhav Suryavanshi playing in international cricket. Vaibhav, who made the whole world his fan with his stormy batting in IPL 2026, is still waiting for his debut in international cricket. He was selected in Team India for the T20 series against Ireland and England, but neither did he get a chance in both the matches against Ireland, nor in the first T20 against England. Now former Indian captain and veteran batsman Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement on this 15 year old stormy batsman.

Sunil Gavaskar said on ‘Sony Sports Network’, “Whenever Vaibhav gets a chance, this delay will put more pressure on him. At the age of 15, you don’t think much about pressure. He knows that if he gets a chance in the second and third matches, he will have to perform well at all costs. But he is happy to be in the team. The Indian team is full of great players from whom Vaibhav can learn a lot.”

If Vaibhav gets a chance in the series against England, he will become the youngest player to play in Men’s T20 International. Currently, this record is in the name of Ireland’s Joshua Little, who debuted at the age of 16 years and 309 days. He will also become the youngest player to play for India, leaving behind Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin made his international debut at the age of 16.

The first T20 International match played between India and England was lost due to rain. After winning the toss and batting first, India scored 189 runs on the scoreboard after losing 7 wickets in 20 overs. However, due to heavy rain, England did not get a chance to bat and the match had to be cancelled. Abhishek Sharma (59 runs) and captain Shreyas Iyer (68 runs) played half-centuries for Team India. At the same time, Shivam Dubey played an unbeaten inning of 42 runs facing 21 balls. However, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and Tilak Verma could not show anything special with the bat.

India had to face a big defeat of 76 runs in its first match of Super-8 of the 2026 T20 World Cup. Indian batsmen flopped badly in this match played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. South Africa had scored 187 runs after playing first. In reply, Team India collapsed for only 111 runs. After this defeat of India, former captain Sunil Gavaskar looked very angry. He told the biggest mistake of Team India and also gave advice to the Indian team.

After India’s defeat, Sunil Gavaskar told Geostar, “The Indian batsmen needed to learn from the partnership of Dewald Brevis and David Miller and adopt this kind of thinking. The Indian batsmen did not do this. They came out with overconfidence. They batted on every ball and lost wickets. South Africa proved to be better than India in every department of the game.”

Sunil Gavaskar told the biggest mistake of Team India

Let us tell you that South Africa did not have a good start in the match. At one time its score was 20 runs for three wickets, but after this Miller and Brewis made a partnership of 97 runs, due to which South Africa was successful in scoring 187 runs for seven wickets. In response, the Indian team was out for 111 runs in 18.5 overs.
Gavaskar said, “India did not take any lessons from South Africa. Indian batsmen came to the crease and were trying to take every ball outside the boundary line. T20 cricket is not played like this.”

He further said, “You should have learned from the opposition team. If they have scored well on such a difficult pitch, then you should have left your ego and analyzed their innings and batted as per the conditions.”
