New Delhi: Will 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi finally make his India debut on Saturday? That’s the biggest question ahead of the second T20I against England at Old Trafford in Manchester.The young batting star has been waiting for his debut with the Indian senior team, although he earned a call-up to the national team after a stellar performance in the 2026 IPL season. Now, a cryptic post on Instagram has only made fans more excited.Sooryavanshi took to his Instagram story to share a picture of himself batting in India’s blue jersey and captioned it with a simple two-word caption: “New Chapter”. The post went viral, with many believing it could be a hint that his much-awaited India debut is imminent.The teenager was one of India’s hardest-working players during training in England. He spent a lot of time in the nets and looked to be making good contact with the bat. Although the team management has repeatedly said that they do not want to rush the youngster, Suryavanshi’s fearless approach to batting has still left a lasting impression.The left-handed opener has performed well in the IPL 2026 season for Rajasthan Royals. He scored 776 runs at an astonishing strike rate of 237.30 and was selected for the Indian senior team for the first time.
However, he is still waiting for his first international appearance. Soriyavansh did not play in the two T20Is against Ireland and also missed the first T20I against England, which ended in vain as rain interrupted England’s chase.As the series unfolds, all eyes will be on the selection of the Indian team. After Sooryavanshi posted about his “new chapter”, the excitement surrounding his possible debut has only grown stronger.
