Shreyas Iyer Backs Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to Emerge as Key Indian Cricketer
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who debuted for India’s T20I team at 15, has shown promise with two half-centuries and a Player of the Series award. Despite limited opportunities due to established openers, captain Shreyas Iyer praises Vaibhav’s calm demeanor off-field and destructive batting style, expressing confidence that he will dominate Indian cricket when given more chances. Vaibhav also contributed to India’s gold medal win at the 2026 Asian Games. The upcoming T20I series against West Indies offers him a platform to further prove himself.
