Teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi wrote his name into the history books on Saturday, becoming India's youngest-ever international debutant across all formats during the second T20I against England in Manchester. At just 15 years and 99 days old, the batter broke a long-standing national record previously held by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
Though his highly anticipated maiden international outing lasted only 10 deliveries, the young left-hander managed to showcase his fearless approach, smashing two massive sixes in a brief 14-run cameo.
Following the match's conclusion, Sooryavanshi took to social media to share a message with fans. He thanked his 'well-wishers' for the love and support. Expressing gratitude for the opportunity, he also promised to 'give his best' in national colours every single time he steps onto the field.
