Till now, Abhishek Sharma was making waves as an opener in T20 cricket. In the last few months, 14 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi has also played many stormy innings while opening for Team India. In the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament, Vaibhav created a sensation by playing an inning of 144 runs in 42 balls against UAE. In the same innings he completed his century in 32 balls. Before this, he has also played strong innings for the Under-19 team.
Such talks have started everywhere that if Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Suryavanshi open for Team India, the opposing team will start trembling. Abhishek’s strike rate in T20 International is 189.51. On the other hand, Vaibhav has not made his international cricket debut yet, but his strike rate in T20 cricket is 229.29.
There is a lot of discussion on social media about the possible opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Suryavanshi in T20 World 2026. One person claimed that if these two were opening, India would cross the score of 80 in the powerplay itself. One person said that the bowlers will beg for mercy against the opening pair of them. But the question is what are the chances of this happening and whether Vaibhav can debut at this age or not.
Will Vaibhav open with Abhishek Sharma?
Currently Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill are opening the Indian T20 team. Gill’s T20 form has not been very good, but being the vice-captain of the team and having the support of the management, he will hardly be out of the team. On the other hand, Vaibhav Suryavanshi cannot debut for the senior Indian team yet, because he is still 14 years old. A few years ago, ICC had reduced the minimum age for debut in international cricket to 15 years.
Vaibhav’s birthday falls on 27th March, but T20 World Cup 2026 would have ended before that. For the future, BCCI can turn to the opening pair of Abhishek-Vaibhav, but this is not possible in the T20 World Cup.
Vaibhav’s coach has given a big statement
On whether Vaibhav Suryavanshi will be included in India’s senior team or not, his coach Manoj Ojha, while talking to news agency ANI, had said, “I have also said earlier that Vaibhav will be included in India’s T20 team. He has taken the first step towards this goal. His aggressive style and the confidence with which he is batting is praiseworthy. It is an honor for me as a coach. He respects the good ball and knows how to hit shots on the bad ball.” Are.”
