Watch: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi welcomes Jofra Archer with a stunning six on India debut

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (Image: Cricbuzz/X) Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on Saturday made history by becoming the youngest player to represent India in men’s T20Is during the second T20I against England at Old Trafford in Manchester.The 15-year-old surpassed the previous record held by Sachin Tendulkar, marking a memorable milestone in Indian cricket. While his stay at the crease was brief, Sooryavanshi gave fans a glimpse of his fearless batting with a blistering 14 off just 10 deliveries.When India opted to bat first, he opened the innings alongside Abhishek Sharma and announced himself in spectacular fashion. His first international boundary over the ropes came against England speedster and Rajasthan Royals teammate Jofra Archer. Sooryavanshi stepped back to make room, got under the short delivery and lofted it cleanly over the keeper for a stunning six.He added another maximum in the following over when he blasted Josh Tongue deep over mid-wicket with a powerful strike that underlined the aggressive intent that has made him one of India’s brightest young prospects.However, England struck back in the fifth over. Will Jacks outfoxed the teenager with a flatter delivery outside the off stump as Sooryavanshi charged down the track in an attempt to attack. Beaten by the curve, he missed his cut attempt before Jos Buttler completed a sharp stumble to end the debutant’s innings.
